In Bahrain.. Even Children Undergo Interrogation

Unlike many other countries, children in Bahrain easily undergo investigation and even can enter jails. Their sin can’t be forgiven since they have committed an unprecedented crime as they took part in peaceful rallies demanding the simplest rights of any citizen.

Abrar Omaran, 8, along with Mujtaba Hussein Ali Nassif were summoned for interrogation after they took part in peaceful rallies in the Bahraini capital last Friday.

Approximately there are 80 Bahraini children in Al Khalifa’s jails for charges like incitement against the regime or taking part in peaceful protests.
In addition there are dozens of children who have been martyred by the security forces fire.

ZAINAB KHAWAJA JAILED FOR TWO MONTHS
On the other hand, a Bahraini court has sentenced pro-democracy activist Zainab al-Khawaja, daughter of prominent human rights campaigner Abdulhadi, to two months in jail for ripping up a picture of King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.

“Usually sentences for such crimes are just fines,” Zainab’s lawyer Mohammed al-Jishi told Reuters. He added that the activist should be freed in four days because she already spent 56 days in jail.

Zainab was arrested for her protest against King Hamad on 2 August, her fifth arrest in four months. She faces eight more charges related to her participation in the pro-democracy protests that have been raging across Bahrain since February 2011
