Bahrainis hold rally, call for release of political prisoners

People in Bahrain held a rally to condemn the ruling regime’s medical negligence that has led to the deaths of several political prisoners in the country.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): People in Bahrain held a rally to condemn the ruling regime’s medical negligence that has led to the deaths of several political prisoners in the country.

They called for the release of all political prisoners in the tiny Persian Gulf country.

The rally came after the death this week of Mohammad Naas, a political activist who had recently been released from prison.   

Bahain’s main opposition group, the al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, in a message offered condolences on the death of Naas and said it considers him as a martyr of the Bahraini revolution.

Al-Wefaq said the Manama regime’s deliberate medical negligence was behind his death.

Martyr Mohammad Naas is the fourth political prisoner falling victim to the regime’s medical negligence in jails, it added.

Back in April, a Bahraini political dissident passed away in a detention center after prison services denied him medical aid, amid reports of alarming conditions of confinement in the kingdom in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Abbas Malallah died at the notorious Jau Prison — where political leaders, human rights defenders, and other prisoners of conscience are kept — as a result of dangerous, inhumane conditions and medical negligence, Al-Wefaq said at the time.
