Bahrain Center for Human Rights: A group of female students and teachers were rounded up at a governmental high school, interrogated and beaten. Message as received, names have been removed for the person's safety)Dear Human rights defenders, I am writing to you from Bahrain, where my heart has been bleeding from the brutal regime atrocious crimes which are being committed against Bahraini citizens. I would like to report to you the story of my 17yr-old cousin's detention & assault. The events took place on Thursday, 21st of April at her school (Al Ahed Alzaher Secondary Girls School- Hamad Town Bahrain).
1- Police stormed and entered the school without any prior notice, and without any particular reason ( there were NO protests inside school, it was an ordinary school day). 2- The police entered my cousin`s class at 12 pm; they had two girls names, which they wanted; one of them was my cousin`s name & the other was another girl in her class. 3- The police (female police) took my cousin & her classmate and lead them to another classroom, where they found themselves with another girls & 3 teachers who were all facing the wall with more female police personnel there.
4- Inside this class, they began interrogating school girls; did you go the pearl roundabout? did you protest against the regime? are you a supporter of mushaimaa? and many other irrelevant questions & accusations for 16 & 17years old girls! 5- With each question, the police officer would slap the student being questioned (and slapped really hard), even when the students denied being a supporter for the "regime overthrow attempt" or denied going to the pearl roundabouts (as some of these girls (total 22 school girls) didnt even go to the pearl roundabout).
