<\/a><\/p>\nBahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) expresses its deep concern for the continued assaults against children under the age of 18 on the hands of the security forces of Bahrain, as part of the brutal campaign against pro-democracy protesters and continuous crackdown on villages. Since the review of Bahrain record by the committee of the child rights[1] in June 2011, the death toll of children has risen to 5 children and hundreds of children were subjected to excessive force by policemen, arbitrary arrests, torture at detention, prosecution and sentencing by military court. Children trials are still ongoing on the criminal court for charges related to freedom of expression and assembly.<\/p>\n
The Bahraini government is a signatory of the International Convention for the Rights of Children, however while its Ministry of Human Rights prides itself of abiding by the rules and regulations of the convention, basic rights of children in Bahrain are being brutally violated by security forces without any actions from the authorities to end these violations.
