A detainee, recently released from Jaw Prison, revealed to Bahrain Mirror that the blind prisoner, Jaafar Maatouk (24 years old), is being brutally tortured and beaten since the Jaw Prison incident on March 10. The detainee, who refused to disclose his identity, added that Maatouk was transferred from block 4 to the tents outside and is still detained there.

 

The witness also stated that Maatouk was severely beaten by the Jordanian police who did not heed the appeals of other prisoners as they asked them to take his condition into account.

Maatouk’s family doesn’t know anything about his situation. They tried to apply for permission to visit him many times, yet they were denied any visits, as prison authorities claimed that visitations are not allowed.
