Bahrain Mirror: Director of Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy, Sayed Ahmed Al-Wadaei, confirmed that 3 political prisoners have been infected with Coronavirus in the notorious Jaw Prison.

The infected prisoners are: Sadiq Al-Ghasra, his borther Hassan and Bader Shamlan. Al-Wedaei said on his Twitter account that the infected prisoners are in building 20, adding that there is real risk of further infections in the light of the Interior Ministry's silence.

About a week ago, the Interior Ministry stated that a detainee in Jaw Prison was infected with Coronavirus and said that it quarantined people in contact with him.

It is to note that Coronavirus cases and deaths have dramatically increased in Bahrain.
