"Women are arrested and transferred to jails and based on the remarks by the women who have been freed from the prison, they are raped in the jail," Fatemeh Ome-Ali told FNA on Sunday.
She stressed women's companionship with men in staging protests and rallies against the tyrannical rule of the al-Khalifa regime, and said that the Bahraini and Saudi regimes are afraid of such popular uprisings and arrest whoever they feel poses a danger to their regime.
Earlier, the Muslim Women Movement in a recent statement had protested at the brutal and cruel behavior of the Bahraini regime towards women in the country, and revealed that the Al-Khalifa regime has imprisoned innocent pregnant women in horrible dungeons.
"They keep pregnant women in terrifying prisons, martyr their husbands under torture and attack people's homes at night and create panic and horror," the statement said in April, addressing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
The statement condemned the silence shown by the international organizations on the massacre of the Bahraini and Yemeni people by their tyrannical rulers, and said "Hundreds of the Yemeni and Bahraini women are in prison for the ambitions of their bullying rulers."
Demonstrators in Bahrain have been demanding constitutional reforms as well as an end to the 230-year-old monarchy, with hundreds camping out peacefully in the capital's Pearl Square since February 14th.
Bahraini security forces have been brutally suppressing anti-government protesters. So far, tens of people have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and about 1,000 others have been injured.
The violence against protesters escalated when Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar dispatched their armed forces to the country to help Manama crack down on peaceful protesters.
