Elections in Bahrain


Press Statement
Jen Psaki
Department Spokesperson
Washington, DC
November 30, 2014


The United States congratulates the Kingdom of Bahrain on the conclusion of its 2014 parliamentary and municipal elections. Although the elections did not enjoy participation by the full spectrum of Bahrain’s mainstream political societies, the elections provided an important opportunity to address the legitimate aspirations of all Bahrainis. We continue to believe that Bahrain’s long-term security and prosperity is best achieved through an inclusive and pluralistic political process that enfranchises all of the citizens of this richly diverse nation.

Looking ahead, we encourage the Bahraini Government and Bahrain's political societies to continue to work towards national reconciliation, through real political dialogue and respect for universal human rights, including the rights of peaceful assembly, debate and dissent. We urge all of Bahrain’s constituencies to work in good faith to resolve existing tensions, to seek constructive compromise, and develop a consensus on how to address Bahrain’s political, economic and social priorities. We further believe it is incumbent upon all segments of Bahraini society to reject violence and to contribute to a climate conducive for peaceful reconciliation.

Qatar Court of Appeals Overturns Verdict in the Trial of Matthew and Grace Huang


Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
November 30, 2014


I welcome the decision of the Qatari Court of Appeals to overturn the conviction of Matthew and Grace Huang. The thoroughly documented findings of the court clearly establish the Huang's innocence. The 22 long months of court proceedings following their daughter's tragic death have compounded the tragedy for the Huang family, and it is time now, as the Appeals Court stated, to let the Huangs return home. We are deeply concerned about new delays that have prevented their departure. I spoke with Qatari Foreign Minister Attiya today and called on the government to immediately implement the court’s decision and permit their return to the United States without further delay.

U.S. Congratulates Namibia on Presidential Elections


Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
November 30, 2014


The United States congratulates the people of Namibia for exercising their democratic right to vote in presidential and parliamentary elections on November 28.

Namibia has once again demonstrated its commitment to an open electoral process and respect for presidential term limits. We applaud the active participation of Namibia’s political parties, civil society, and citizens in shaping an inclusive discussion throughout the campaign. The extraordinary participation among first-time voters and women candidates reflects the progress that Namibia has made and the commitment of the Namibian people to a democratic future.

The United States and Namibia share a strong partnership. We work together to strengthen health care systems, counter threats to Namibia’s unique ecosystems, promote peace and security in the region, and protect human rights for all of Namibia’s citizens, particularly the most vulnerable in society.

The United States looks forward to continuing our partnership with the new Namibian Government and the people of Namibia in support of Namibia’s development and the welfare of its people.
