The Bahrain government admitted Monday to the use of "excessive force" against opposition protesters this year days before an independent commission set up by King Hamad al-Khalifa is due to present its findings on police actions.
Legal action has been initiated against 20 police officers involved in the mistreatment, a government statement said.
"This is in no way the limit of the steps that will be taken," the statement said.
Protests demanding political reform and greater freedoms in Sunni-ruled, Shiite-majority Bahrain began February 14 before authorities -- backed by troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates -- cracked down on the demonstrations, first in February and later in mid-March.
