Bahrain: Detainee Al-Singace enters 177 days of hunger strike, while the authorities ignore his demands

The detained Bahraini academic d. Abdul Jalil Al-Singace, began the new year with 177 days of hunger strike, amid the Kingdom’s negligence of his demands.
Bahraini press sources stated that on July 8, 2021, Al-Singace began an open hunger strike in protest of an official in Jaw Central Prison confiscating one of his researches and the continuation of ill-treatment, as the prison administration refrained from providing him with the necessary rubber supports he needed for his crutches. This comes under the pretext of confronting the spread of the “Corona” pandemic and limiting prisoners’ communications to only five numbers.
The sources added that the book, which he wrote for at least 4 years, is a study on linguistic diversity between Arabic and Bahraini dialects and does not include any political content.
