Bahraini detainees sent \u201cmessages of solidarity\u201d a fellow activist whose hunger strike entered its 20th day this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a Twitter post, Ali revealed that expressions of support came from Bahrain\u2019s Jaw Prison, the Dry Dock Detention Center as well as the Isa Town Women\u2019s Detention Centre, where inmates are \u201cplanning to start their own hunger strike\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey complained about [the] lack of adequate medical care, degrading and humiliating treatment against them as political prisoners,\u201d Ali explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ali, the son of jailed Bahraini opposition leader Hassan Mushaima, started his hunger strike outside the Bahraini embassy in London on August 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He is demanding that his father be granted access to proper health care and be allowed to receive family visits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bahraini prison authorities are frequently accused of denying medical treatment to detainees and subjecting them to other forms of ill-treatment.<\/p>\n
