(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The daughter of jailed Bahraini activist Khalil al-Halwachi reported that her father and other political detainees housed in Bahrain’s Jaw Prison are continuing to endure restrictions including a ban on phone calls.
Fatima al-Halwachi wrote in a Twitter post on Tuesday that a previously scheduled call from her father never came.
During a recent visit, Al-Halwachi explained to his family that the “call ban” follows the confiscation of detainees’ belongings by the prison guards. He also revealed that those who attempted to resist were placed in solitary confinement.
In recent weeks there have been frequent reports of guards storming cells and confiscating books, writing materials and even clothing items.
