BAHRAIN: Children victims of physical & sexual abuse, abduction, arbitrary detention and unfair trial

Submitted by crinadmin on

Children in Bahrain are victims of physical & sexual abuse, abduction, arbitrary detention and unfair trial. 

Seventy-six children between the prisoners in the latest security crackdown, making them 21 per cent of the total detainees, whose numbers swelled to 355.

Special Forces attack random people, especially children who are at risk of excessive use of force, rubber bullets and tear gas. Many obtained serious injuries as a result.

The Bahrain Center for Human Rights is following with grave concern the serious deterioration of security that comes within the framework of the ongoing crackdown launched by the authority against political activists and human rights defenders as well as all the Shiite villages and areas, through a regular updating of relevant incidents.
