According to Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society in Bahrain, security forces continue a campaign of arrests and summonses targeting a number of citizens, including children and a Husseini reciter.

The society stated that authorities arrested reciter Nasser Al-Kishri, Hajj Abdul-Jabbar Mirza, Hajj Hussein Darwish, Ihab Al-Hamadi, Ahmed Hassan, Sayed Abdullah Majid, Hussein Al-Khayat, Mahmoud Muslim, Hajj Mahdi Saleh, the brothers Ali and Hassan Al-Ghanem, Reda Ibrahim Mohammed Hamada, Sayed Hussein Jaafar, and Mohammed Sarhan.

Al-Wefaq further reported a heightened security presence in a number of predominantly Shia villages, with security forces deployed around village entrances and public areas before carrying out arrests following religious ceremonies. The society described these measures as part of an escalating campaign by Bahraini authorities amid ongoing regional developments, alleging that the actions disproportionately target members of the Shia community.

The field and diplomacy, side by side.
For one nation;
For one country;
For one goal;
Ready for any situation.

I am armored if you choose the play of swords;

I fasten my belt if you seek peace.

Whatever you show, of warmth or coldness,

I accept, whether reconciliation or war.

Come then, with whatever you hold, sword or cup,

For I possess a complete hand in both.
