They have documented the Khalifas\u2019 attack on freedom of speech and assembly so the world knows what is going on. The Khalifas want them silenced, so they have detained and tortured them. This is dangerous work with three journalists killed and 25 sent to prison. 14 photographers are in prison today with sentences from 3- 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Abhi Prasad at St Georges Hospital, Tooting has agreed to treat Hussain if we can get him released. What can you do to help? This is URGENT \u2013 Hussain has had no medicine since April 2014 when he left Dry Dock Detention Centre and was moved to Jaw Prison.<\/p>\n<p>Please contact your Congressmen or MP and ask them to ask the al Khalifa regime to allow treatment. <\/p>\n<div class=\"igit_tsb_button\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crookedbough.com%2F%3Fp%3D20573&amp;text=Speak+Up+for+Hussain+Hubail%2C+a+photographer+illegally+detained+and+dying+in+Bahrain+Jau+Prison&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via=\" style=\"\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hussain Hubail, is struggling to get medical care and survive in Jaw Prison.
