Amnesty International has accused Bahrain of torturing the children arrested on suspicion of participating in anti-government protests. The rights group says scores of children, some as young as 13, have been detained on suspicion of taking part in protests over the last two years, and have been continually tortured while in custody. Detainees under 15 are also held at the Ministry of Interior\\\'s Juvenile Centre in Manama, where Amnesty says most abuses take place at night when social workers are absent. The body says Bahraini authorities are displaying an appalling level of disregard for human rights. The group has called on Bahrain to review its legislation regarding juveniles to fall in line with international standards. Bahrain is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits torture or use of any other inhuman punishment against children.
