Alwaght- The Al Khalifa regime in Bahrain is oppressing and abusing children in the ongoing crackdown of peaceful opposition movement in the tiny Persian Gulf state, a human rights groups says in a new report.
In a joint report, The Bahrain Center for Human Rights, Bahrain Human Rights Observatory, The European-Bahraini Organization for Human Rights, Salam for Human Rights and Democracy, The Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights Justice Human Rights Organization, the Pearl Center for Human Rights, the Bahrain Society for Human Rights, and the Bahrain Forum for Human Rights expressed deep concern about the continuing violations by Bahraini authorities against hundreds of children and the violation of its commitments to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The statement notes that, “Since 2011 until today, the authorities in Bahrain have violated children's right to security by killing more than 10 children under 18, and the right to freedom by arresting more than 1500 children some of which are still in detention facing charges under the Terrorism Act.”
Dozens of children are denied the right of citizenship by the authorities including those whose parents were arrested because of the political situation or the children of those whose nationalities were arbitrarily revoked. Hundreds of children were denied to the right of education because of detention, especially as the schools claimed by the authorities in the juvenile prison are not specialized and do not meet children's educational needs.

Mr. Nabeel Rajab, the president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, thinks that this violation of children's rights is only a reprisal against juveniles whose only crime is living in a country that does not recognize the rights of the child, living in an area with ongoing protests or being members of a family well-known for its political activity.

Mr. Youssif Rabi'a, the president of Bahrain Forum for Human Rights, has seen that children in Bahrain are exposed to the risk of ongoing violations up to losing the right to live.
The NGO's urged Bahrain allies, including the US and Britain, and international organizations to put pressurize the Manama regime to immediately release of all children unconditionally.

They also want the Bahraini regime be barred from denial of children's right to freedom and reprisals due to the political situation in the country. The NGO’also called on the international community to demand that Bahrain implements children's rights in accordance with the international treaties.
Since February 14th 2011, Bahrain has seen frequent peaceful protests demanding political change, but the security forces have responded harshly with it. During the continuing popular uprising dozens have been killed and thousands wounded. The US-backed Bahraini monarchy has also detained the opponents of political human rights activists, and the political critics, and they often use torture forcing them to confess.
