Bahrain Mirror: President of Bahrain Center for Human Rights, Nedal Al-Salman, and head of monitoring and documentation department at the center, Enas Oun, began a hunger strike on Saturday, August 12, 2023, in solidarity with detainees in Bahraini prisons

Al-Salman and Oun said in a tweet on the "X" platform that their hunger strike comes from their belief in the legitimacy of the detainees' demands.

Hundreds of political detainees in Jaw Central Prison began an open hunger strike on Monday, August 7, 2023, to demand their rights after the authorities ignored their demands and continued to violate their rights with unfair decisions such as isolation, denying them of the right to education and neglecting their health care, as well as the system of visits and congregational prayer.
