Ever since, he's been targeted, arrested, beaten, tortured, and detained. So have other BCHR members.
Abdulhadi's Close to Death
In early February, he began hunger striking for justice. It's now two months and counting. He's severely deteriorated, hospitalized, and close to death. BCHR, other human rights organizations, family, and supporters hold the Bahrain monarchy responsible.
Protests across the country demand his release. Police thugs attacks them. So do Saudi forces. In March 2011, they entered Bahrain guns blazing. They're still there. They and police commit daily atrocities. Western media scoundrels are silent. So isn't the Obama administration.
On the one hand, it rails against Assad's obligation to confront Western supported insurgents responsibly. On the other, it ignores daily Al Khalifa regime atrocities. The hypocrisy's stark, duplicitous, abhorrent, and typical of what passes for US-style governance.
BCHR said Abdulhadi's family lawyer, Mohamed AlJishi, confirmed that his daughter, Zainab, was arrested in front of the prison hospital. She refused to leave, called out her father's name, and demanded he be released. Other protesters with her were also arrested.
They're currently detained at Alhoora police station, and denied legal counsel and family visits.
On April 4, AlJishi visited Abdulhadi. He described his condition as "emaciated." His pulse is so weak, he risks imminent cardiac arrest and/or coma. He's so frail, he can't move. Even if he survives, he faces possible organ failure. Blood studies indicate kidney damage.
