‘Inmate sought exemption from prison rules’

Bahraini inmate Hassan Mushaima who is serving life sentence for his attempts to topple the government refused to attend specialist doctors’ appointments as he sought exemption from rules, according to Bahrain Embassy in the UK.

In response to protests held by his son Ali Mushaima outside the embassy claiming that medical treatment was refused to his father, the embassy stated that Hassan sought special treatment and refused to cooperate with rules.

According to the embassy, Hassan is at fault at for missed appointments with medical specialists as he declined to attend the appointments as he refused to wear prison uniform and wanted “special treatment”.
