The plight of detainees in Bahrain's prisons was far from an improvement over preceding years. A disturbing narrative unfolded in 2021, revealing deliberate medical negligence, a severe Coronavirus outbreak, hunger strikes, physical attacks, and a lack of humane treatment within the confines of the Dry Dock and Jaw Central prisons.

The families of political prisoners in Bahrain continued their peaceful protests for the consecutive sixteenth day, insistently demanding the release of their imprisoned family members, who have been suffering from injustice, the effects of the pandemic and medical negligence in Jaw Central Prison.

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) called for an independent investigation into the death of political prisoner Abbas Malallah in prison.

The Deputy Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi, mourned martyr Abbas Malallah, saying: "How difficult it is to mourn a martyr who did not get to know the features of his children's faces before his martyrdom."

The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) issued a statement following the death of inmate Abbas Hasan Malallah (50) in Jaw Central Prison.

Hundreds of Bahrainis mourned on Tuesday (April 6th, 2021) in Nuwaidrat the death of martyr Abbas Malallah, who died in prison after the Jaw Central Prison administration refused to transfer him to the hospital.

The Bahraini Ministry of Interior announced on April 6, 2021 through a statement issued by the Prisons Directorate, the death of 50-year-old political prisoner, Abbas Hasan Malallah, who is from the Nuwaidrat area, married and has three children.
