Bahraini detainee in excruciating pain due to denial of medical treatment

Bahraini detainee Ayoub Adel is reportedly in ‘severe pain’ following years of willful medical negligence at the Bahrain’s Jaw Prison.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahraini detainee Ayoub Adel is reportedly in ‘severe pain’ following years of willful medical negligence at the Bahrain’s Jaw Prison.

Bahraini rights campaigner Ebtisam al-Saegh reported on Monday that Adel has been deprived of adequate medical treatment for over two years.

Adel had an external fixator attached to his fractured leg at the time of his arrest in 2016.

Back then activists reported that security forces beat the detainee on his fractured leg in order to secure a false confession.

Al-Saegh explains that Adel’s injury required extensive follow-up treatment including a number of surgeries.

However, prison authorities merely treated him with painkillers, which are now also being withheld.

Rights groups have repeatedly accused Bahraini prison authorities of denying detainees access to the most basic health care services.
