A former Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) officer continues to be detained in Bahrain despite completing his prison sentence and without him or his lawyer being informed of any new charges against him. He has been denied family visits and he is currently believed to be on hunger strike to protest his continued detention. He may be a prisoner of conscience.
