Bahrain’s main opposition group al-Wefaq has raised the alarm over the plight of more than 13-hundred inmates being held in the Persian Gulf country’s notorious Jaw prison.
The opposition group has reported that the prisoners are beaten by guards, and banned from family visits and even phone-calls. Al-Wefaq has called on the International Red Cross to take action to protect the inmates.
