Bahrain: Bahrain: arrest and torture of children

Case BHR 090200.CC
CHILD CONCERN

The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your URGENT intervention in the following situation in Bahrain.

Brief description of the situation

According to the information received, from the Bahrain Human Rights Organisation (BHRO), a member of the network, three children were arrested, one of which was allegedly tortured.

According to the information received, on 2nd January 2000, security forces attacked the village of Daih and arrested two 13 year old boys, Hamza Ali Hassan Al-Asghar and Ali Abdulla Saad. The former was released after reportedly being tortured while the other remains in detention. In this latter case, Saad was allegedly brought by security forces to Daih Village and video-taped next to graffiti.

In another case, Seyyed Ahmad Saeed Marzooq, aged 17, was snatched, on 31st January, from a bed in a neighbouring house where he had been hiding for 2 months. Nothing has been known of his whereabouts since.

The International Secretariat is gravely concerned for the physical and psychological integrity of these three children.
