Bahraini Shiite cleric transferred to prison after undergoing surgery
The Bahraini security authorities transferred detained Shiite cleric Sheikh Isa Al-Qaffas to Dry Dock Prison (Pre-trial detention center) directly after he underwent surgery last Wednesday.
LuaLua channel said that Al-Qaffas couldn’t have a period of rest at the hospital after his surgery. He was prevented from the needed medical care and directly transferred to prison, in a retaliatory measure among the harassments he is subjected to in prison.
It explained that Sheikh Al-Qaffas was held in solitary confinement last May over practicing his religious rituals inside the prison.
