41. Fadhul 先生在新干船坞监狱 17 号楼服刑时，年仅 17 岁。据称，他在那里因政治观点和言论而一直受到歧视。至于Fadhul先生参加民众反对派抗议活动的旧照片(见上文)，来文方指出，当局很可能将 Fadhul 先生对巴林政治反对派的支持与恐怖主义联系起来，将他的政治见解和集会自由确定为犯罪。来文方也指出，鉴于 2019 冠状病毒病蔓延，最近以人道主义理由释放了许多刑事案件中的囚犯，要么通过 2021 年 5 月 12 日在开斋节之际发布的皇家赦免，要么通过 2021年 4 月 2 日和 11 日发布的替代性刑罚决定释放。Fadhul 先生的家人认为，鉴于他的年龄小，他应该被包括在释放囚犯名单之内。来文方补充说，然而，被释放的主要是刑事案件中的犯人，而像Fadhul先生这样的良心犯和政治犯一般都被排除在外。
41. At only 17 years old, Mr. Fadhul is serving his sentence in building 17 of New Dry Dock prison, where he reportedly faces constant discrimination for his political views and opinions. With reference to the old photographs of Mr. Fadhul participating in popular opposition protests (see above), the source notes that it is likely that the authorities are linking Mr. Fadhul’s support of the Bahraini political opposition with terrorism, criminalizing his freedom of political opinion and assembly. The source also notes that in the light of COVID-19, many prisoners in criminal cases have recently been released for humanitarian reasons, either through the royal pardon issued on 12 May 2021, on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, or through alternative sentencing decisions issued on 2 and 11 April 2021. Mr. Fadhul’s family deem that given his young age, he should have been included in the lists of inmates released. However, the source adds that it was mostly prisoners in criminal cases who were released, while prisoners of conscience and political prisoners, such as Mr. Fadhul, were generally excluded.
