AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahraini detainees sent “messages of solidarity” to Ali Mushaima whose hunger strike entered its 20th day this week.
In a Twitter post, Ali revealed that expressions of support came from Bahrain’s Jaw Prison, the Dry Dock Detention Center as well as the Isa Town Women’s Detention Centre, where inmates are “planning to start their own hunger strike”.
“They complained about [the] lack of adequate medical care, degrading and humiliating treatment against them as political prisoners,” Ali explained.
Ali, the son of jailed Bahraini opposition leader Hassan Mushaima, started his hunger strike outside the Bahraini embassy in London on August 1.
He is demanding that his father be granted access to proper health care and be allowed to receive family visits.
Bahraini prison authorities are frequently accused of denying medical treatment to detainees and subjecting them to other forms of ill-treatment.
