Fresh reports have surfaced alleging that political prisoners at the facility are being subjected to a systematic campaign of harassment led by known torturers Faisal Saleh, Abdullah al-Dosari and Ali Maamoun.
Some of the detainees are regularly placed in solitary confinement. Others are moved to cells housing criminal offenders, and drug addicts, some of whom suffer from infectious diseases.
Prisoners are also complaining that their personal belongings are being confiscated.
The detainees and their families have appealed to rights groups to document and expose the abuses in Bahrain’s detention facilities.
