Bahrain’s oldest political prisoner set free / Video & Pics

55-year-old Fawzia Mashallah walked out of the Isa Town Women’s Detention Centre on Saturday after completing a one-year sentence.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): 55-year-old Fawzia Mashallah walked out of the Isa Town Women’s Detention Centre on Saturday after completing a one-year sentence.

Bahraini rights campaigners have described Mashallah as the country’s ‘oldest political prisoner’.

She was arrested in December 2017 and accused of harboring a fugitive – a charge she vehemently denies.

Throughout her time in detention, Mashallah repeatedly complained about being denied access to adequate health care and alleged other forms of ill-treatment.
