Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini authorities temporarily released on Thursday (September 1, 2016) the president of Bahrain Center for Human Rights, Nabeel Rajab, to take part in the funeral procession of his aunt (his wife's mother).

Witnesses who attended the funeral procession in Manama said that Rajab lost a lot of weight and that it seems that he is suffering from bad health conditions.

The authorities transferred Rajab to the hospital after he suffered from chest pain. Meanwhile, human rights organizations demand his release.

Prominent human rights defender faces charges related to tweets he sent on Twitter about the Yemenis suffering due to Saudi war.
