AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahraini detainee Professor Mohammed Sarhan has reportedly been assaulted by guards at Jaw Prison and thrown into solitary confinement.
The London-based Bahrain Al-Youm reported on Thursday that Sarhan was complaining about overcrowding at the detention facility before he was attacked.
Last week, Bahraini rights campaigner Ebtisam al-Saegh described living conditions in Jaw as “miserable” and said that 17 inmates are crammed into cells designed to hold only 8 people.
The overcrowding and constant water shortages have also raised fears about the spread of disease in the prison.
Abuses in Bahraini prisons are becoming more frequent prompting a number of hunger strikes in recent months.
