# The whereabouts of most of the detainees are not known.
Mr. Fadhel Abbasof the National Democratic Assembly was not allowed to travel on the 15th of April when he tried to leave to Tunisia for a conference. No reason was given for his travel ban. I have attached copy of the letter sent to the Oxford Aviation Academy asking them to immediately send back certain Bahraini students.

Dear Friends,
Abdulhadi Alkhawaja called his wife today to let her know that he will be appearing before a military court tomorrow (21st April) at 8 am (Bahrain time). He also asked for some clothes. No official charges have been declared against him yet. His sons in law also requested clothes to be brought to what is known as the "Qala'a", the ministry of interior. His daughter Zainab ended her hunger strike today. Yesterday: "Seven people accused of murdering policemen Kashef Ahmed Mandhour and Mohammed Farooq Abdulsamad have today appeared before the Lower National Safety Court."

Amnesty International puts out an urgent appeal on detained defense lawyer Mohammed AlTajer whose brother has now also been detained, Mohsin AlTajer. Several more arrests have taken place, amongst them a few women. The number of detainees until yesterday was 802, amongst them 52 women, not counting the arrests that took place today. There is still an ongoing campaign of demolishing Shiaa mosques and vandalizing "Matams" which belong to the Shia'a sect.

Alkhawaja's family fears he is being subjected to torture as his voice was very weak when he called and he kept repeating "the oppression is great". http://www.frontlinedefenders.org/node/14959. There is fear that Alkhawaja may be undergoing military trial without allowing him lawyers or contact with his family.
