Bahraini Regime Arrests 18 Dissidents in One Week: Report

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) announced that the Al Khalifa regime forces have arrested 18 citizens of the Persian Gulf country on political grounds in the last week of July.

The BCHR said from July 24 to 30, a total of 36 demonstrations took place in 24 villages in Bahrain, the Bahrain Mirror news website reported.

The Al Khalifa forces attacked 11 cases of the anti-regime rallies and cracked down on the protesters, according to the report.

During the mentioned period, the BCHR has also documented a total of 18 arrests on political grounds, the report said.

Bahrain, a close ally of the US in the Persian Gulf region, has been witnessing almost daily protests against the ruling Al Khalifa dynasty since early 2011, with Manama using heavy-handed measures in an attempt to crush the demonstrations.

Scores of Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds of others injured and arrested in the ongoing crackdown on the peaceful demonstrations.
