Bahrain
2015 worst year for Bahraini activists
Bahrain’s main opposition bloc says 2015 has been the worst year for the Bahraini people in terms of the human rights situation in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
In its annual report, Liberties and Human Rights Department (LHRD) at al-Wefaq National Islamic Society said that Bahraini forces arrested 1,765 people, among them 120 children, in 2015 amid a total ban on protests across the country.
