Al-Wefaq, in a statement released on Monday, announced that it has recorded numerous violations against citizens and prisoners of conscience between January 22 and 28, and the figure stands at over 50 cases.
The statement referred to the arbitrary detention of political dissident Ahmed Jaafar Mohamed Ali as the most egregious violation, after he was deported from Serbia and handed over to Bahraini authorities, despite a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) specifically forbidding this.
He was extradited on January 24 after Serbian officials responded to a request from the Manama regime.

Al-Wefaq then pointed to the arrest of another anti-regime activist identified as Sayed Khalil Majid.
Bahraini regime forces also sent out four against three citizens in the last week of January. Activist and teacher Ali Muhanna was summoned twice, according to the al-Wefaq report.
The detention of five minors was extended for the fourth time in a row, pending further investigation.
Manama regime forces carried out 37 raids across Bahrain, most notably in the city of Jidhafs as well as the villages of Sanabis and al-Daih, during the mentioned period.
Moreover, people staged 16 peaceful protests in eleven regions, namely the villages of Diraz, al-Dair, Sanabis, Abu Saiba, Shakhura, Damistan and Karbabad.
Bahrain’s most prominent cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim has said that drawing up a new constitution was the only way out of the political crisis in the protest-hit tiny Persian Gulf country, urging the regime in Manama to pursue an agreement with the Bahraini opposition instead of increasingly suppressing dissent.
Demonstrations have been held in Bahrain on a regular basis ever since a popular uprising began in mid-February 2011.
The participants demand that the Al Khalifah regime relinquish power and allow a just system representing all Bahrainis to be established.
Manama, however, has gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent.
