A powerful photographic and historical documentation, "Democracy: People Under Trial – 73" captures a pivotal moment in Bahrain’s political evolution. Through the lens of acclaimed Bahraini photographer Abdulla Alkhan, the book presents rare archival images from the year 1973 — the year of Bahrain’s first elected National Assembly.
More than just visual storytelling, this book reflects the hopes, debates, and the unfolding challenges of democracy in its early stages. Complemented by the insightful narrative of Husain AlMahroos, it offers readers a layered understanding of a unique parliamentary experiment in the Gulf.
This is not just a photo book — it’s a preserved national memory, a visual record of voices, presence, and participation.
