A 16-year-old boy was reportedly beaten and sexually assaulted by security forces in Bahrain early this morning, activists report.

The picture of ‘Ali’, partly naked with marks of torture, has stirred up outrage amongst Bahraini activists on Twitter.

The teenage victim was reportedly kidnapped by security forces before being beaten and sexually assaulted and finally dumped in a farm in Sanabis, North West of Manama.

Said Yousif AlMuhafda, human rights defender, who met the victim says: “When I met him, he was unconscious and handcuffed, left in one of the garages in Sanabis without his underwear and bleeding”

‘Ali’ said he was attacked with a knife and punched several times, report Said Yousif AlMuhafda.

Said Yousif Al-Muhafda says the young boy was arrested before and stabbed by security forces as he refused to work undercover for them.

This terrible report comes as the King of Bahrain has expressed his satisfaction regarding progress made towards reforms especially regarding abuses committed by security forces.
