Hundreds of prisoners in Bahrain suspend monthlong hunger strike as crown prince visits US
Fox News
Hundreds of Bahraini inmates have suspended their monthlong hunger strike in hopes that their crown prince will fulfill promises of change during a trip to the U.S.
The promised changes include limiting isolation, expanding visitor rights, extending the hours of daylight inmates have and improving health care at the prison, the group said. If the changes are not implemented, the strike will resume.,
The group linked the decision to Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa's visit to Washington this week. He is scheduled to meet Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday and sign a security and economic agreement.
