The wife of Bahraini prisoner, Alawi Hussain, said that her husband has been suffering for more than 5 months from high blood pressure, as the authorities don�t seem to allow him to receive necessary treatment.

The Bahraini authorities did not wish to end 2017 any different than it started. Six Bahrainis were sentenced to death six days before the end of the year, just like three Bahrainis were executed for political reasons at the beginning of 2017.
