AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Jailed Bahraini dissident Husain Ali al-Sahlawi has reportedly been tortured while in solitary confinement.
Local rights campaigner Ebtisam al-Saegh broke the news on Tuesday citing claims by the prisoner’s family.
It isn’t clear when the abuse took place or why Al-Sahlawi was thrown into solitary.
Al-Sahlawi was arrested and transferred to Bahrain’s Jaw Prison in May 2012 after being convicted in absentia the year before.
Over the years there have been repeated incidents involving Al-Sahlawi, which included severe beatings by the guards at Jaw.
