(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Last Sunday, at a closed-door military court hearing, 21 Bahraini human rights activists were charged with attempted subversion, with the allegation that they tried to overthrow the ruling monarchy.
The US-based rights group on Wednesday also said that there are some detained activists who bear signs of ill-treatment and perhaps even torture.
It pointed out the case of Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, a prominent rights activist who appeared before a special military court on May 8, a month after he was arrested, bore visible signs of ill-treatment and torture.
Meanwhile, Saudi-backed Bahraini forces have arrested a prominent freelance photographer as the Manama regime continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters.
The Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights (BYSHR) said on Wednesday that Mohammad Salman al-Sheikh was arrested the previous day in his apartment in the town of Sanabis.
