Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini authorities have launched a widespread campaign of arbitrary arrests on Tuesday (November 3, 2015) in a number of areas across Bahrain, taking dozens of Bahrainis into custody.

The Bahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) said that it recorded 45 arrests in a widespread campaign of house raids and arrests led by the Interior Ministry's masked militias accompanied by members of security forces since the early hours of the morning.

These masked militias raided dozens of houses in more than 22 areas across the country without showing arrest warrants. BCHR also stated that three of the citizens arrested were children.

For its part, the February 14 Coalition denounced the arrests which it deemed arbitrary, calling for assuming national and religious responsibility to face oppression and tyranny.
