Bahrain: Six months of enforced disappearance of Shia cleric due to religious rites

The family of political prisoner Sheikh Zuhair Ashour has complained that they haven’t heard any news about him since July last year.
Sheikh Zuhair Ashour faces an unknown fate as he was subjected to enforced disappearance.
Ashour and others were placed in Building 15 designated for isolation after they refused to communicate in protest against their denial of reviving religious rituals inside the prison in mid-July of last year.
Since that time, Ashour and other prisoners have been subjected to severe harassment, insults and threats.
In late August, prisoner Ali al-Wazir was transferred to solitary confinement after a verbal altercation and a quarrel occurred between him and a policeman called Ali of Yemeni origin.
At the time, Sheikh Zuhair was accused of incitement, and was taken to solitary confinement where he was subjected to brutal torture.
The Ashour family does not have any information about him other than what was reported on social media at the time.
