AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahrain's Public Prosecution extended the detention of three young residents of the Karababad area for an additional 15 days as part of the investigation; an action taken in continuation of the policy of long-term detentions without disclosing details regarding their background or the reasons for their detention.
The Bahraini Prisoners Affairs Commission announced that this decision includes Hussain Ali al-Tajer, Muhammad Abdulwahhab Habib, and Hussain Abd al-Ilah Abd al-Nabi, and that these three young men remain in pre-trial detention; this while Bahraini authorities have so far not released any details or official information about the charges against them or the legal basis for their continued detention.
According to this report, the expansion of decisions related to extending pre-trial detention and silence about the details of detentions occur within the framework of what has been described as the continuation of restrictions against citizens and activists; a process that, according to this report, targets young people in various areas and villages and is pursued without providing the minimum guarantees related to fair trial and transparency in judicial processes.
