Dr. Alaa Al-Shihabi: My husband and I met with Bernie Eccleston in his office in London after it became clear to us that he took the initiative for the release of my husband Farhan.
The meeting lasted for two hours and was of the strangest in my life. And one question was in my mind... how such person becomes the richest men of Britain!!!
At the end he asked 'what would happen in the days of Formula? I told him that the country will irritate with demonstrations and you will see our revolution by yourself
Then he said: close all the streets leading to the circuit and postpone the race and express your demands through peaceful means, and I myself I will join you!
I was surprised because he also introduced other ideas such as how to disrupt the race and to organize a conference by the opposition where 500 journalists will be present, and he urged us to think in new ways !!
He said it clearly and directly: I do not care. no religion and no politics. I received my check and it is better for us to commit ourselves to the contract with the Authority.
I told him the whole Formula's business is for Alkhalifas and he choose which side he'll support. He denied this and said I basically I thought that Bahrain is located in the south of the Hawaiian Islands before I go to it!!
