MANAMA — One of Bahrain’s three detainees at Guantanamo Bay has expressed a deep concern to his lawyer about the random and punitive measures that are applied at the prison’s Mental Health Unit.

According to a communique with vice-president of the now-dissolved Bahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR), Nabeel Rajab and the BCHR-appointed lawyer Joshua Colangelo-Bryan from the New York-based Dorsey and Whitney law firm, who is fighting the case of Juma Al-Dossary "there are always new rules in the Unit".

The communique was received by the Khaleej Times, where referring to his conversation with Juma, lawyer Colangelo-Bryan said: "He (Juma) also said that guards sometimes try to find any possible violation of the rules so that they can punish people."
