    Al-Singace has been on a hunger strike for 129 days.

Without any media coverage, the Bahraini political prisoner, Dr. Abdul Jalil al-Singace, is continuing his empty stomach battle and has been on a hunger strike for 129 days since last July.

Some circulated information reported that al-Singace has lost more than 20 kilograms and his health condition is deteriorating.

Al-Singace started a hunger strike in protest of constant harassment from prison guards who regularly monitor his phone calls, cut the phone line, and prevent him from sleeping, as well as arbitrarily confiscating his research work.

طوال الأشهر الماضية تحدثت حكومة #البحرين عن إعادة النظر في ملف حقوق الإنسان الذي تحول إلى كابوس يلاحقها في المحافل الدولية، لذا أعلنت عن الخطة الوطنية لحقوق الإنسان. لكن ممارساتها على الأرض لم تتغير بل ساءت. #الدكتور_عبد_الجليل_السنكيس يواصل إضرابه عن الطعام بسبب سوء المعاملة pic.twitter.com/J3KJIjtUHq

Al-Singace is a Bahraini academic, a human rights activist, and a blogger.

In 2011, he was arrested for participating in protests against the ruling regime according to Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain.

Rallies in solidarity with Prisoner Al-Singace Continue in Bahrain

He belongs to the Bahrain 13 group, which includes political leaders who were arrested for their role in Bahrain's democratic movement and sentenced to life imprisonment for alleged attempts to overthrow the Bahraini government.

Earlier, Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain denounced the violations against al-Singace.

This is not the first time that al-Singace launches a hunger strike in protest of the arbitrary treatment and depriving him of his most basic rights.

On March 21, 2015, he began a hunger strike against collective punishment, torture, and degrading practices in Bahraini prisons.

In regard to al-Singace's cause, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Action Society (Amal), Sheikh Abdullah al-Saleh, tweeted that the real disability lies in refraining from speaking the truth despite being aware of falsehood.

He added that al-Singace is known for being a warrior inside and outside the prison.

Al-Saleh expressed that from his wheelchair, al-Singace has confounded a heavily armed state security.

Popular demonstrations roamed various parts of Bahrain, in support of political freedoms, in solidarity with al-Singace, and against the normalization of ties with "Israel".
