Al Wefaq: Bahrain authorities must allow prisoners access to medical treatment

The Bahraini security authorities are denying prisoners access to medical care as a revenge for calling for democratic transition in Bahrain. Sheikh Mirza Almahroos and photojournalist Hussain Hubail are both suffering from illnesses and pain but the Jau prison administration is acting against ethics and law by denying them medical treatment and care.

Al Wefaq National Islamic Society denounces such inhumane practices against citizens who are imprisoned solely for exercising freedom of expression and opinion. The Bahraini authorities must provide immediate access for medical care and treatment to the prisoners.
