(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Two Bahraini female detainees Fatima Dawood Hassan and Zakiya Issa Al-Barboury were finally permitted to see their families after being subjected to incommunicado detention for weeks.

The family of 31-year-old Al-Barboury reported that she had lost weight following a 30-minute visit on Friday at the Isa Town Women’s Detention Center.

Meanwhile, 19-year-old Hassan was granted her family visit on Saturday morning.

The pair was arbitrary detained in the Bahraini village of Nuwaidrat on May 17 before being charged with ‘terrorism’ a few weeks later.

Their families had repeatedly expressed concern that the kingdom’s security forces may have subjected the women to physical and psychological torture.
