(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Sheikh urged the United Nations to take action against human rights violations which the al- Khalifa regime in Bahrain is committing against its people.
In an interview with FNA, Sheikh described the suffering of Bahraini youth and political activists. Detainees have often denied medical care. There have been documented proofs of abuses and countless cases of torture in Bahrain prisons.
Yet the international community has done nothing, she added.
Sheikh called on the International Committee of the Red Cross, the United Nations and the World Health Organization to intervene as many men and women are being subjected to the most harrowing treatments.
Antigovernment protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for an end to the al-Khalifa dynasty.
Violence against the defenseless people escalated after a Saudi-led conglomerate of police, security and military forces from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member states - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar - were dispatched to the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom on March 2011, to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.
So far, tens of protesters have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and thousands of others have been injured.
