News – Middle East – Bahrain: Bahraini human rights activist Ebtisam Al-Saegh has called on the Bahraini authorities to release all the children they are holding.

Al-Sayegh said on her Twitter account that "the family prosecution does not respond to the families' communications. There is no benefit in the Restorative Justice Law for Children and its Protection from Abuse if it does not achieve justice without discrimination."

The law, which was issued by the King of Bahrain last February, has entered into force, but it has not yet benefited children arrested on political issues.

The law states that “there is no criminal responsibility for a child who did not exceed fifteen full calendar years of age at the time of the commission of the crime, and the provisions stipulated in this law shall follow.”

Al-Saegh said that the exit of 5 beneficiaries as a first payment is supposed to be followed by other payments.

She demanded the release of all the children."End their suffering and return them to their normal place", she said
