Ibrahim Sharif al-Sayed (Arabic: ابراهيم شريف السيد) is an opposition political activist in Bahrain, currently serving as the General Secretary of the secular socialist National Democratic Action Society (Wa'ad).

[1] On 17 March 2011, Sharif was arrested in his home in Manama for his role in the Bahraini uprising, which called for greater political freedom and for the rights of the Shia majority.

[4] Shortly after, Amnesty International reported allegations that he was being tortured by state security forces while in detention.

Also on 13 April 2011, 2Connect released a statement saying that Shirawi was stepping down from his position as managing director and leaving 2Connect after seven years of service, for personal reasons.

[10] In September 2012, an appeal court upheld his sentence, despite determining that the evidence against him had been obtained by means of torture.
