AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Another detainee in Bahrain’s Jaw Prison appealed for international action over a scabies outbreak that has been plaguing the detention facility for several months.
In an audio recording made public earlier this week, Ahmed Jassim Saeed reveals that as many as 100 Jaw prisoners are now suffering from scabies.
Saeed alleges that he has been living with the skin infestation for the last three months. He echoed previous claims from prisoners that the outbreak is being fuelled by medical negligence and worsening sanitary conditions in the prison.
International rights groups have repeatedly accused Bahraini prison authorities of blatantly disregarding the health of detainees.
