Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch called on Bahrain either to release or formally charge eight activists, including clerics, the groups said the Gulf kingdom has arrested.

“The Bahraini authorities must make it clear why these eight men have been arrested, and either release them or charge them with recognizable criminal offences,” Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, deputy director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa programme, said in a Wednesday statement.
