Several political rights are absent in Bahrain, and widespread violations undermine political and human rights efforts, such as banning assembly, persecuting political activists, and isolating the opposition, the Bahraini Al-Wefaq Society said Saturday.

In a report published under the title "The Restricted Political Environment in Bahrain", the association shed light on the political and human rights situation in Bahrain, with the Inter-Parliamentary Union meetings scheduled to be held in Manama from 11 to 15 March.

The report stresses that security violations affected 15 former MPs, who were targeted by the authorities in Bahrain because of exercising their right to freedom of expression.

At the forefront of those targeted are the Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq Society, Sheikh Ali Salman, and the former deputy, Sheikh Hassan Issa, who are still "under arbitrary detention after political trials."

Al-Wefaq indicated that the number of those who have been subjected to arbitrary arrests since 2011 has exceeded 14,000 citizens, while the ban on peaceful assembly has been in effect for 1,513 days.

Earlier, the Al-Wefaq Society confirmed that the audio recordings of dozens of political prisoners in the Bahraini regime's prison indicate that their living conditions are difficult and poor, due to an unhealthy environment, denial of necessary treatment, and humiliating treatment.

The association clarified that political prisoners in Bahrain were arrested, tortured, and given long sentences, adding that their nationalities were revoked and that they were isolated politically and civilly just because they demand democracy, justice, freedom, and the respect of human rights.
