Bahraini political prisoners facing tighten restrictions

Authorities in Bahrain’s Jaw Prison reportedly tightened restrictions at one of the facility’s buildings on Saturday.

Bahraini rights campaigner Ebtisam Al-Saegh reported through social media that inmates were confined to their cells and their contact with the outside world has been restricted.

There is no official explanation for the move.

Political prisoners in Jaw are routinely denied contact with relatives. In most cases, the measures are temporary and used as a form of punishment against the detainees.
