Shii News – ADHRB: US Congress Calls for Report on Political Prisoners in Bahrain; ADHRB Statement on Saudi Executions
US Congress Calls for Report from State Department on Political Prisoners in Bahrain
For ADHRB Weekly Newsletter 438, click here. This includes the following ADHRB note:
‘ADHRB would like to thank the UN High Commissioner for her statement condemning the mass execution of 81 individuals by beheading in Saudi Arabia on 12 March. 41 of those belonged to the Shia minority and had participated in the pro-democracy demonstrations of 2011. We support the declaration that their execution may amount to a war crime in light of the lack of guarantees for fair trial.
On the other hand, we are raising caution about the fate of Sadeq Majeed Thamer and Jaafar Mohamed Sultan who face imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia. The two Bahrainis were previously sentenced to life imprisonment in Bahrain on terrorism-related charges. Saudi authorities arrested them on 8 May 2015 and forcibly disappeared them for 115 days, while allegations of torture and violations of due process rights were ignored. They were sentenced to death on 7 October 2021 on the same charges. They face imminent risk of execution.’

Officiel au Liban, inavoué en Irak, le confessionnalisme politique réserve les principales fonctions de l’Etat en fonction de l’appartenance religieuse (et ethnique en Irak). En comparant les deux systèmes en place dans les deux pays, qui imposent le règne des milices et le triomphe des élites confessionnelles, on com-prendra mieux pour quelle raison il est si difficile de sortir pacifiquement d’un tel système qui nie tout espace public et empêche toute citoyenneté commune. L’échec des Printemps arabes en est une illustration.

1.The UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies and the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University are pleased to open a call for paper submissions to their conference, “The Iranian Diaspora in Global Perspective.” The conference will be held on February 16–17, 2023 at the University of California, Los Angeles and aims to support the growing field of Iranian Diaspora Studies by sharing new research and scholarship.
The conference will bring together senior scholars, mid-career scholars, and emerging researchers in any discipline who are contributing to and developing this emerging and transnational field. Panels and speakers are encouraged to showcase work on the Iranian diaspora in a global context, including but not limited to:
Histories of Iranian migration and diaspora formation
Sociological and cultural dimensions of Iranian diaspora communities
Comparative studies, whether comparing across Iranian diaspora communities or between Iranian and other immigrant groups in differing locations
Research on Iranian communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania; especially South-South relations
Studies that cast light on the heterogeneity of Iranian diaspora communities and their migration experiences
The conference is also interested in creative expressions such as documentary film, fiction films, photography, and/or animations related to themes and experiences of the Iranian diaspora.
This conference will build and sustain a stronger academic community, draw attention to increasingly transnational elements of the Iranian diaspora, and highlight the importance of cross-disciplinary research and collaboration. Additionally, we will draw from selected 2023 conference presentations to invite papers for an edited volume that will be made available in open access format through an academic publisher such as University of California Press.
While we aim to hold the conference in person to benefit from the incomparable experience of in-person exchanges, we are taking COVID-19 into consideration as we plan possible modalities for the conference. Conference presentations will be in English. Travel and lodging will be covered by the conference.
To submit:
Please email your 300-word abstract and presentation title along with a four-sentence bio and contact information to: Rohan Advani (rohadvani@g.ucla.edu). Please include “Iranian Diaspora Conference 2023” in the subject heading.

3. CARPO Study 11 Narratives of (In)Justice in Contemporary Yemeni Novels
We are happy to share with you our latest Study, which we are publishing jointly with our partners, the Institute of Oriental and Asian Studies at the University of Bonn and the Gender Development Research & Studies Center at the University of Sanaa:
*“Narratives of (In)Justice in Contemporary Yemeni Novels. Representations of Socio-Political Practices and Normative Constructions” *
/by Osama Ali, Fadhilah Gubari, Julia Gurol and Abdulsalam al-Rubaidi /
Download the full Study from our website <http://87j6.mjt.lu/lnk/AMIAAMDqLbUAAcg4OjQAAAAP8M0AAAAABKEAAAPQAAt9mABiOchUp1Mz0-abS0m4R7j7pWs4fAALkkQ/1/ORWCnm3p0gkqFCRXTjEUrQ/aHR0cHM6Ly9jYXJwby1ib25uLm9yZy9lbi9jYXJwby1zdHVkaWVzLTIv>*.*
This Study analyzes narratives of (in)justice in contemporary Yemeni novels. Through a lexical field analysis of nine selected contemporary novels, the paper highlights how (in)justice is framed in narrative literature, both in terms of representations of certain socio-political practices and in terms of normative constructions and the creation of a normative order. It argues that novels represent and discuss the complexities of Yemeni realities, where daily practices and experiences of individuals are entangled with philosophical questions about the meaning of life. It discusses the nexus between the framing of (in)justice and post-conflict reconciliation and provides an original insight into the understanding and constructions of justice and injustice offered to society by Yemeni novelists.

5. EuQu International Workshop – The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Eastern Christianity
International Workshop – The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Eastern Christianity
May 11-12, 2022 | University of Copenhagen
The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites was the name commonly used by Eastern Christians of various traditions to refer to the Qur’an. Since the emergence of Islam in Late Antiquity, Eastern Christians speaking Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Church Slavonic, Russian and Syriac came in contact with Islam and its Holy Scripture. From the Mediterranean lands to Russia via the Balkans, Anatolia and Caucasus, the experience of Eastern Christians with their Muslim neighbors and/or rulers was shaped by diverse multicultural and multiconfessional contexts in which their approach to the Qur’an played a significant role in defining religious identity and the dynamics of communal life.
This international workshop will explore how Eastern Christians engaged with the Qur’an and its Islamic interpretations from the medieval period until the end of the eighteenth century. Bringing together different religious traditions, one of the main scopes of the workshop is to build a platform of discussion between scholars working with source material from Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Georgian, Greek, Church Slavonic, Russian and Syriac contexts, with a focus on how these milieus shaped Eastern Christian responses to Islam and its Holy Scripture.
How did texts on Islam and Qur’an circulate within groups and networks? How did they cross confessional boundaries? Who were their authors and intended audiences? These and similar questions will guide the discussions, and will generate – we hope – new debates for the entangled history and cross-cultural history of the Eastern Christian communities from the medieval to the dawn of modernity.
