Bahrain arbitrarily arrested 18 in July last week: Rights group

‘A Bahraini human rights organization says 18 people were arrested arbitrarily in the kingdom in the last week of July as Manama presses ahead with its heavy-handed crackdown on political dissidents.
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) said on Wednesday that it had also documented 36 peaceful protests across the Persian Gulf country on 24- 30 July, 11 of which were suppressed by police.
Defying the regime’s crackdown, Bahraini people once again took to the streets in several areas, calling for an end to the Al Khalifah family’s rule.
On Wednesday evening, Bahraini forces attacked a peaceful rally held in the island of Sitra to commemorate those killed at the hands of the regime.’
