Bahrain: Sudden health setback in Dr. Al-Singace’s condition as he enters 213 days of strike
The Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy confirmed that there had been a sudden deterioration in the health of the Bahraini detainee, Dr. Abdul Jalil Al-Singace.
The director of the institute, Sayed Ahmed Al-Wadaei, said that a sudden deterioration in the health of the detainee Al-Singace necessitated the intervention of the ambulance and the use of artificial respiration to rescue Dr. Al-Singace.
Al-Singace is entering his 213th day of hunger strike to protest the confiscation of historical research that took more than 4 years to prepare in prison.
Al-Singace’s case sparked a wide interaction on the human rights, political and academic level, as 100 British academics signed a letter calling on the Khalifa authorities to re-examine Al-Singace, stop harassing him, and release him unconditionally.
Similar positions were issued by international human rights organizations such as Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, while the British House of Commons held a special interrogation session in which parliamentary interventions and questions focused on the Al-Singace issue.
Al-Singace wrote a book from inside the prison on Bahraini proverbs and various dialects, and the research was arbitrarily confiscated. Activists say that Al-Singace’s case boils down to the struggle of the Bahrainis with a regime that has stripped itself of all morals and has become an aggression against the indigenous population.
