Jailed Bahraini opposition leader Hassan Mushaima deprived of his medication

Jailed Bahraini opposition leader Hassan Mushaima has reportedly been deprived of his medication this week as he continues to face restrictions to proper medical care.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Jailed Bahraini opposition leader Hassan Mushaima has reportedly been deprived of his medication this week as he continues to face restrictions to proper medical care.

His son and London-based activist, Ali, tweeted on Wednesday that Mushaima “is still awaiting the results of his cancer scan taken in August.”

The 70-year-old prisoner is serving a life sentence over his role in Bahrain’s 2011 pro-democracy protests. He is a cancer survivor and suffers from multiple health conditions including diabetes.

Ali observed a weeks-long hunger strike earlier this year over his father’s ill-treatment in detention, which includes restrictions to proper health care, family visits and books.
