Sheikh Isa Qassim requires additional specialists for necessary treatment

A medical ‘consultant’ in the United Kingdom has reportedly concurred with Bahraini doctors regarding the initial diagnosis of Sheikh Isa Qassim.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - A medical ‘consultant’ in the United Kingdom has reportedly concurred with Bahraini doctors regarding the initial diagnosis of Sheikh Isa Qassim.

LuaLua TV was able to obtain a brief statement from the team tasked with overseeing Sheikh Qassim’s health, which revealed that additional specialists are required to perform the necessary surgeries on the cleric due to his “age and circumstances”.

The actual diagnosis has not been made public.

Sheikh Qassim, Bahrain’s highest religious authority, touched down in London on Monday where his is due to receive medical treatment after years of being denied access to proper health care.

The 80-year-old was arbitrarily stripped of his nationality in June 2016 before Manama’s security forces stormed his home last May and placed him under house arrest.

The cleric has played a fundamental role in Bahrain’s popular uprising, which began in 2011.
