** Ali Mohsen Muhana
------------------------------------------------------------

Ali Mohsen Muhana is a Bahraini activist, father of political prisoner Husain Muhana ([link removed]) , and an ex-political prisoner himself. After being tortured and imprisoned for participating in the AlDiraz demonstrations in 2017, he has repeatedly faced legal measures from summons to detention as acts of reprisal against his activism and demands for the release of prisoners of conscience.

Ali used to work as an Arabic language teacher at “Al-Imam Ali” school in Ma’ameer but was terminated from his job following his first arrest. His active participation in assemblies and demonstrations made him a target for the Bahraini authorities. On 23 May 2017, Ali was arrested for taking part in a demonstration in AlDiraz in support of Sheikh Isa Qasem. He suffered a birdshot injury to the head, affecting vision in his right eye. He was unable to see and was taken to a nearby house to receive basic treatment, which the police had permitted.

During the arrest, while Ali was being pulled into the military bus, he was insulted and beaten. He was held for 23 days at the CID and was allowed to contact his family 5 days after his arrest for less than a minute, informing them that he needed clothing. After 23 days of of being subjected to different forms of torture at the CID, Ali was transfered to the Dry Dock Detention Center where he was examined by a doctor for his head injury.
