Husain Ali Khairalla
Husain Ali Khairalla was only 16 years old when officers from Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior arrested him on political motivations in 2015. He was consequently tortured and convicted in several unfair trials. He is currently serving his sentence in Jau Prison.
On 24 May 2015, Husain, still a high school student, was arrested in Bani Jamra, where riot police surrounded him and threw him to the ground, mocking him after his fall. At midnight, riot police and masked officers in civilian clothing raided his house, threatening his family members at gun point. Neither a search warrant nor an arrest warrant was presented throughout this. He had been wanted for two years prior to his arrest on the basis of political cases.
Husain was taken to AlKhayyala police station where he was subjected to torture that lasted for two weeks and was so severe to the point where Husain had blood in his urine. His other physical injuries from his arrest also went untreated. During this process he was either completely prevented from communicating with his family or was only granted brief calls of a few seconds. He was only allowed to see his family one month after his arrest. At no point in the interrogation process was he allowed access to a lawyer or, at any other point during his initial court sentencing.
