Bahraini regime forces have arrested dozens of anti-regime protesters who participated in demonstrations across the Persian Gulf kingdom to mark the fifth anniversary of their popular uprising.
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights announced on Sunday that a total of 59 protesters, were detained between February 12 and 14, and that 26 minors were among those arrested, Arabic-language Laulau satellite television network reported.
The rights organization added that 46 anti-regime demonstrations were staged in 26 areas across Bahrain, and that a large number of others had to be called off due to the heavy-handed crackdown in place.
