Bahrain accused of ‘sexual harassment’

The Bahrain Center for Human Rights has accused Manama of “torture crimes and sexual harassment” against detainees currently held in Bahraini jails.

Since August, Bahrain’s Sunni-dominated government has arrested more than 250 Shias, accusing 23 of them of plotting a coup and inciting “violence, rioting and terrorism.”

Bahrain has also arrested hundreds of activists, human rights defenders and opposition religious figures.
