Injured Bahraini detainee denied treatment

Bahraini detainee Habib Allawi is being refused access to medical treatment for his eye injury, which he sustained after being struck by birdshot pellets.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahraini detainee Habib Allawi is being refused access to medical treatment for his eye injury, which he sustained after being struck by birdshot pellets.

Activists reported on Thursday that prison authorities refused to take the 22-year-old to his previously scheduled doctor’s appointment.

Allawi, who is serving a 15-year prison sentence has repeatedly complained of severe pain in his left eye.

Scores of Bahraini detainees allege that they are being deprived of the most basic health care services with several going on hunger strike in protest.
