Minors jailed in Bahrain\u2019s Dry Dock Detention Center have reportedly had no running water or air conditioning for days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Describing the measures as \u2018immoral\u2019, a number of Bahraini rights groups reported the news on Friday and revealed that the situation is becoming increasingly desperate for the young detainees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Summer temperatures in Bahrain tend to exceed 48\u00b0C. The combination of desert heat and high humidity make life without air conditioning, or at the very least running water, completely unbearable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although the Dry Dock facility is notorious for the ill-treatment of detainees, much of the abuse in the past was directed at the adult prison population.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, since late 2017, Bahraini minors have increasingly found themselves on the receiving end of such practices.<\/p>\n
