Al Khalifah regime’s continued violation of the rights of hundreds of children
Several Bahraini rights groups strongly denounced the Al Khalifah regime’s continued violation of the rights of hundreds of children in breach of UN conventions.
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) said that the regime authorities repeatedly violated the rights of children by imprisoning and committing acts of torture against them.
Their torture and imprisonment deliberately violates the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the rights group added.
According to the BCHR, since 2011, more than 10 children under 18 have been killed by the regime forces across the Arab country.
The rights body also noted that Bahraini security forces have detained more than 1,500 children under the Terrorism Act.
The group further denounced Bahraini regime authorities over the torture, long-term sentences and denial of education for hundreds of children across the kingdom.
Amnesty International and other rights groups have repeatedly criticized the Bahraini regime for its “rampant” human rights abuses against opposition activists and anti-government protesters.
