Despite a royal pardon that included some minors, arrests have not only continued but have become more severe, with reports of children being subjected to torture and ill-treatment in prison.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words text-start [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"b5e09e88-a128-4246-8b7d-b276c9b2a01c\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<h3 data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"575\">Escalating Arrests of Minors<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"1109\">Bahraini authorities have not limited their crackdown to political activists but have also detained children who committed no crime other than expressing their opinions or participating in peaceful protests. A report by an international human rights coalition, including Human Rights Watch and Americans for Democracy &amp; Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB), documents the arrest of 11 minors without judicial warrants, exposing them to psychological and physical torture, as well as prolonged detention without a fair trial.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1670\">Since the start of Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, arbitrary arrests in Bahrain have escalated, with 32 minors detained between August and December 2023. Detainees have faced beatings, threats, and the confiscation of personal belongings. The report highlights that 344 individuals have been arrested for expressing solidarity with Gaza, including a significant number of children who are enduring horrific conditions in Al-Hod Al-Jaf Prison. These include denial of healthcare and education, malnutrition, and severe overcrowding in prison cells.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6116\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6116\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6116 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Israeli war on Gaza strip\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/34238-martyrs-and-missing-after-122-days-of-the-Israeli-war-on-Gaza.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6116\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war crimes in Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1721\">Royal Pardon and Human Rights Criticism<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"2227\">In April 2024, Bahrain\u2019s King issued a royal decree pardoning 1,584 prisoners.
