Two jailed Bahraini activists are on hunger strike and refusing fluids after being denied visits from their family. Zainab Alkhawaja was sentenced to three months in jail earlier this month for insulting a public official. She has been on hunger strike for more than a week and began refusing fluids Sunday, putting her life at imminent risk, according to the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. Zainab’s father, Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, who is serving a life term for his role in the pro-democracy uprising, is also said to be on hunger strike. Zainab released a letter from jail, writing: “Not wearing the convicts’ clothes, because I have committed no crime, that became my small act of civil disobedience. Not letting me see my family and my three-year-old daughter, that has been their punishment. That is why I am on hunger strike.”
