Torture has been a constant cause of human rights abuse in the Middle East, where prisoners, human rights activists, dissidents have been subjected to arbitrary detention and torture. Bahrain has also been one of the monarchies that have been reported to have followed a similar principle. However, on 5 February 2021, it was reported that the British University of Huddersfield also played an accomplice in the torture practices of the Kingdom of Bahrain. As a result, forty MPs across parties urged the University to close one of the master’s courses that it ran at Bahrain’s Royal Academy of Policing after it was alleged to be torturing political activists in the academy’s premises.
