Dr. Al-Singace has reportedly been subjected to torture and ill-treatment during his time in detention. During his initial detention, security officials subjected Dr. Al-Singace to forced standing, verbal and sexual assault, beatings, and prolonged solitary confinement. He has been repeatedly denied access to novels, television, radio, and even pen and paper. He was also not allowed access to religious books and prayer beads. Since February 2017, Dr Al-Singace was deprived of family visits and canteen visits to buy hygiene supplies, in part because he did not follow the rules to wear the prison uniform. But in March 2019 he was allowed to have family visits despite his refusal to wear the prison uniform or to be shackled when leaving his cell.Al-Singace began a hunger strike on 08 July 2021, in response to prison authorities’ confiscation of his manuscript on Bahraini dialects of Arabic that he spent four years researching and writing. This is not the first hunger strike that Al-Singace undertakes. In 2016, he went on a year-long hunger strike to protest the abuse practiced against the detainees in Jaw Central Prison. Since January 2024, he continues to be subjected to harsh measures during visitations. He is also being held in prolonged solitary confinement within his room in Kanoo Medical Centre, where he has been prohibited from going outside, having exposure to direct sunlight, and receiving the physiotherapy he requires for his disability. According to his family, he has also been deprived of necessary examinations and medical information, including results from MRI scans of his shoulder and head from October 2021. He has also been denied treatment for several medical issues, including inflamed joints, impaired vision, enlarged prostate, and tremors. Additionally, authorities refuse to provide him with adequate crutches or replacements for the worn rubber tips for his crutches as well as other necessary items, such as medical slippers to prevent him from falling in the bathroom and a hot water bottle to relieve pain. In June 2024, authorities twice failed to refill his medical prescriptions in a timely and appropriate manner. On both occasions, Dr. Al-Singace gave authorities three days to resolve the issue and then he escalated his hunger strike, consuming nothing but water. Shortly after his escalation, authorities provided him with his proper medications.
