Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Qassim undergoes cardiac catheterization

Bahrain’s highest religious authority Sheikh Isa Qassim underwent a diagnostic cardiac catheterization at the request of his doctors.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahrain’s highest religious authority Sheikh Isa Qassim underwent a diagnostic cardiac catheterization at the request of his doctors.

The ailing cleric is said to need further medical follow-up and treatment in the coming period.

Sheikh Qassim left Bahrain in June of last year as a result of his deteriorating health, which rights campaigners blame on months of house arrest and the deliberate deprivation of medical care.

After undergoing several surgeries in London, he traveled to Iraq in December before continuing onto Iran.

Sheikh Qassim, who is a central figure in Bahrain’s popular uprising, was arbitrarily stripped of his nationality in June 2016 and confined to the northwestern Bahraini village of Diraz.
