Faisal Hassan Fulad is a member of Kingdom of Bahrain’s upper chamber of parliament, the Consultative Council,since 1996-present. Mr Fulad was appointed to parliament by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa since 2002-present.
In September 2006, Fulad was implicated in the Bandargate scandal, accused of receiving BD500 (USD 1,326) per month from the head of the scandal, Ahmed bin Ateyatalla Al Khalifa[1]. The alleged plot aimed to instigate sectarian strife and maintain the dominance of the ruling Sunni community over the majority Shia.
In May 2006, Fulad became the first ever Shura Council member to be suspended. Sixteen fellow Shura Council members submitted a complaint to the chairman claiming that Fulad repeatedly insulted the members during sessions. Fulad was subsequently suspended for two weeks and docked pay[2][3].
Fulad has been accused by his colleagues of being a narcissist. In April 2006, Shura Council member Khalid Al Shareef told Fulad: "All you care about is having your name appear in newspapers next day, without you really knowing what your mouth says."[4]
Another senior Council member told the Gulf Daily News:
Mr Fulad has been showing the Press he is a hero by attacking fellow colleagues, but afterwards he would go to councillors' offices begging for forgiveness. It is the same with the ministers he has been attacking on the open floor - the instant they leave he goes after them asking for their pardon.[3]
Mr Fulad’s is an activist with the Bahrain branch of Amnesty International[citation needed] and a founder of the local group, the Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society, were he stands as the regional and international director (including the U.K branch). His vocal advocacy include issues such as women’s rights, the formal scrapping of the death penalty and labour rights for national and migrant workers.
Recently, he is leading a lobby to establish a human right commity in the upper chamber of parliament[citation needed].
