Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) said that it documented 17 arrest cases including a child, within the first week of April.

The Al-Wasat newspaper said that Bahrain prevented 14 Bahraini children from receiving citizenships over political reasons.

Bahraini children held at Dry Dock Prison said in a statement issued from prison that they are being subjected to torture by the security authorities in charge, calling for urgent action to put an end to these abuses.
