The Liberties and Human Rights Department (LHRD) in Al Wefaq National Islamic Society reported the Shia rights violation in Bahrain during the month of April.
In its report, the organization reported as many as 228 home raids during the month of April that involved confiscation of personal belongings by the governmental forces. Tear-gas was used in most cases on family members and children.
Also in this month, 187 arrests were documented 17 years or less. According to the organization, “117 of the total arrests took place during home raids, while 28 were arrested from streets, 28 from checkpoints, 6 at the borders and 4 from workplaces”.
During the month, 12 cases of torture and mistreatment were reported to the LHRD.
Human rights violation towards the Shia majority is taking place in Bahrain everyday yet the international committees have failed to pressure the kingdom.
SRW has been following with news in Bahrain and has used all its influence to report the violations.
