Reports have surfaced online alleging that the recently arrested Bahraini photojournalist Hassan Qambar was transferred to a military hospital after being subjected to what appears to be severe beatings.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Reports have surfaced online alleging that the recently arrested Bahraini photojournalist Hassan Qambar was transferred to a military hospital after being subjected to what appears to be severe beatings.

According to an eyewitness account, Qambar was spotted on crutches and had injuries to his face.

The photojournalist was arrested by Manama’s security forces earlier this month after being on the run for six years.

He was sentenced in absentia to more than 120 years of prison time over what activists describe as politically motivated charges.

Qambar was involved in filming and disseminating news about the unrest in Bahrain.
