AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Hunger strikers in Bahrain’s Jaw Prison are reportedly being denied medical treatment while their overall health condition worsens.
Online activists expressed growing concern over the wellbeing of the detainees as their hunger strike entered the tenth day on Saturday.
Rights campaigners allege that the prisoners are being told to end their hunger strike as a condition for any kind of access to health care services.
The London-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) reported this week that at least 26 Bahraini prisoners are currently on hunger strike. Among them are 13 death row inmates.
They are demanding better conditions, including at least two one-hour visits per month and unobstructed family visitation.
