Abdulwahab Hussain Biography

Abdulwahab Hussain is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 9, 1954 in Bahrain, Bahrain, Bahrain. Hussain was born to a poor family in the village of Nuwaidrat south of Manama. He studied in Ma’ameer primary school and upon his graduation when he was twelve, his father died. Hussain continued his study at Sitra intermediate school (then Isa Town secondary school). At 1977, he graduated from Kuwait University with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and sociology.

Hussain was one of the most prominent opposition leaders in the uprising. “Although the late Shaikh Abdul Amir al-Jamri was the religious leader of the Shia oppositionists at the time, Hussain’s admirers claim he was the thinker behind the unrest”, a WikiLeaks cable said. He was a subscriber of the petition calling for resurrection of parliamentary life in 1992, a member of the “Petition Committee” in 1994, and of the “Initiative” in 1995. Instead of going into exile like many other activists, Hussain remained in Bahrain. He was arrested twice under the State Security Law, which allowed the government to arrest individuals without trial for a period of up to three years of administrative detention for crimes relating to state security.

Hussain was detained for about six months between 17 March 1995 and 10 September. He and other members of the “Initiative” were released after reaching a deal with the government in which the Initiative members would calm people in exchange for the government’s releasing all of those not convicted in courts. The government reportedly also agreed that at a later stage after establishment of security, the government would start a political dialogue with opposition. However, the government denied such an agreement existed, which led to worsening the situation again.

Hussain was arrested for the second time in January 1996 along with 7 other opposition leaders including Abdul Amir al-Jamri and Hasan Mushaima. They were held in Al-Qalaa prison. This time Hussain spent about five years in prison in solitary confinement and was allegedly mistreated. According to the Bahrain Human Rights Organisation, Hussain was pressured early in 2000 by three State Security and Intelligence Service personnel—Adel Flaifel and two “British officers”—to sign a pre-prepared paper apologizing to the Emir for his actions and promising “not to carry out acts calling for political reform, or incite others to do so, and not to partake in any public speaking, including religious sermons” in exchange for getting pardoned by the Emir. Hussain refused to sign.

Abdulwahab Hussain Ali Ahmed Esmael (Arabic: عبدالوهاب حسين علي أحمد إسماعيل ‎) is a Bahraini political activist, writer, religious figure and philosopher. He was one of the most prominent opposition leaders in the 1990s uprising when he was arrested twice for a total length of five years in which he was allegedly subjected to solitary confinement and torture. After his release in 2001, he supported government reform plans.

Starting from 6 March, Hussain, who became the official spokesman of the newly formed movement, visited a number of Shia villages holding open seminars to explain its goals and means of action. The seminars were described by many observers to be similar to those held during the 1990s by opposition leaders. Aiming to get legitimacy and support, Hussain and al-Miqdad met with Isa Qassim; however, a leaked Wikileaks cable reported that the latter “was not impressed”.

Upon graduation, he worked as a teacher for three years, then as a social supervisor for fifteen years before being forced to retire as a result of his activities during 1990s uprising in Bahrain. Thirteen years later, Hussain resumed his previous job for three years, before being terminated in 2008.

Between December 1994 and February 2001, Bahrain saw large number of protests and political unrest when leftists, liberals and Islamists joined forces to demand democratic reforms.

Hussain led the Islamic Enlightenment institution in 2002, before resigning in March 2003 and announcing that he would refrain from issuing public statements and leading Friday sermons in August. As a result, a number of his admirers gathered in a two-day sit in front of his house to dissuade him from his decision. Isa Qassim, Bahrain’s top Shia cleric, visited him twice for the same purpose. However, Hussain kept his position, thanking all of those who stood by him. He said his decision was not due to a personal interest and that the “issue is larger than using courtesy with it”. In 2005, Hussain officially resigned from Al Wefaq after the society decided to register under the “political societies law” and participate in the elections.
