"Detention of Maryam Alkhawaja highlights continued targeting of activists in Bahrain"

Al Wefaq National Islamic Society said extending detention of human rights activist Maryam Alkhawaja highlights that the regime is continuing to target activists who also face reprisal for supporting democratic demands and exposing rights violations.

The Bahraini has been constantly misusing power and law to attack all freedom and rights. Prisons in Bahrain have become over crowded with political prisoners prosecuted in sham trials that lack the fundamental standards of a fair trial.
