Manama (IP) - Citizens of Bahrain formed a human chain in the Sanabis area of Manama province, the capital of Bahrain, showing solidarity with political prisoners and calling for their immediate release as the ruling Al Khalifah regime presses ahead with its cruel clampdown on human rights advocates and opposition figures in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.

Iran PressMiddle East: The account of the Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society of Bahrain posted a photo on Twitter, saying: "Citizens formed a human chain in the Sanabis area of Manama province, the capital of Bahrain, for the release of prisoners."

It also wrote in another tweet: "Al-Wefaq declared that the number of prisoners infected with the novel coronavirus in Bahrain has increased so far to 71 prisoners."

The participants in the rallies held Bahrain’s monarch King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifah fully responsible for the wellbeing of prisoners of conscience being kept behind bars in crowded jails.

The protesters said the coronavirus outbreak has exacerbated the situation of the prisoners – some of whom have lost their lives to the highly contagious respiratory disease.
