The forum continued: “these practices are established within the security services which return the production of the State Terrorism in multiple images and last but not least was the exploitation of a humanitarian situation of Bahraini children as a method of political revenge and an expression of formal regression in dealing with citizens, as well as the subjection of this age to different patterns of violations, where a complaint was previously sent to the UN Special Rapporteur on Children”
The Forum added: “the subjection of more than 500 Bahraini children for arbitrary detention since the beginning of the events in 2011, until now, whereas the authorities are involved in killing 19 children and embryos illegally and some children are subjected to the military trial, as well as that others have been prosecuted under the terrorism law, in which these violations constitute a breach of the Child Rights Convention”
It concluded:” today in Bahrain there are a slice of children wanted and hunted by the security services for issues concerning the right of expression and the peaceful assembly, as well as imprisoned children without abiding by law during investigation with them such as extracting confessions under torture by means degrading to human dignity and contrary to constitutional provisions and international conventions”
