Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini security authorities summoned on Thursday (June 14, 2018) a number of Shiite citizens and took DNA samples from them, without a judicial order, activists stressed.
Lawyer Abdulla Al-Shamlawi confirmed the circulated news, saying that the Criminal Investigation Department summoned the prominent Shiite cleric Hani Al-Bana'a "without investigating him. However, the CID took DNA samples from him and from others of different ages and countries".
Al-Shamlawi concluded saying that "exposing a human for medical examination without his consent is an affront to humanity."
