Family of Bahraini detainee demands he receive medical treatment

The family of Bahraini detainee Ali Hassan Daoud is demanding that the 27-year-old prisoner be given immediate access to medical treatment.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The family of Bahraini detainee Ali Hassan Daoud is demanding that the 27-year-old prisoner be given immediate access to medical treatment.

Bahraini rights campaigner Ebtisam al-Saegh reported on Monday that Daoud is suffering from a number of health conditions, including a sharp drop in blood pressure, high fever and severe pain in parts of his body.

According to al-Saegh, a judge ordered for Daoud to be treated, but prison authorities have apparently ignored the request.

Daoud was sentenced to 15 years in prison following his arrest in February 2015.

Rights groups have repeatedly accused Bahraini prison authorities of willful medical negligence and a blatant disregard for the health of detainees.
