4Prominent Bahraini human rights defender Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja went public with his hunger strike, which has now been going on for 23 days since he demanded authorities to investigate allegations of torture in Jaw prison with no progress.Lasa fantatr'olona amin'ny fitokonany tsy mihinan-kanina, ilay Bahraini malaza be mpiaro ny zon'olombelona, Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, fitokonana efa nandritra ny 23 andro izao hatry ny nangatahany hanaovan'ireo manampahefana fanadihadiana momba ireo lazaina ho fisian'ny fampijaliana ao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw, tsy mbola nisy fivoarany.
5In an open letter to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid Ra'ad Al-Hussein, Al-Khawaja said:Nilaza izao i l-Khawaja tamin'ny taratasy misokatra ho an'ny Kaomisera Ambonin'ny Firenena Mikambana ho an'ny Zon'olombelona, Prince Zeid Ra'ad Al-Hussein:
6Building 10 in Jaw prison has become known as the torture building, and I have personally been hearing the screams of the victims.Lasa fantatra ho tranoben'ny fampijaliana ny Tranobe faha-10 ao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw, ary ny tenako mihitsy no nandre ny kiakan'ireo niharan'izany.
7He added that the type of torture prisoners have been subjected to in the last few months is the worst since 2011, when a so-called Arab Spring-inspired uprising started.Nampiany fa hatramin'ny 2011 dia tena farak'izay ratsy indrindra ireo karazana fampijaliana atao amin'ireo voafonja tato anatin'ny volana vitsivitsy lasa izao, raha nanomboka nitroatra ny lazaina ho Aingam-panahy avy amin'ny lohataona Arabo.
8Attached to his letter were detailed accounts of torture and mistreatment incidents on different occasions, including the crackdown on riots that happened inside Jaw prison.Notanisaina antsipirihany niaraka tamin'ilay taratasy ireo karazana fampijaliana sy tranganà fikarakaràna ratsy amin'ny fotoana samihafa, tafiditra amin'izany ny hery famoretana ireo fikomiana nitranga tao anatin'ny fonjan'i Jaw.
9Alkhawaja appeals to the High Commissioner for Human Rights to move rapidly on the situation in Jaw prison http://t.co/GYMssQsAxv #Bahrain - Maryam Alkhawaja (@MARYAMALKHAWAJA) May 10, 2015Miantso ny Kaomisera Ambonin'ny Firenena Mikambana ho an'ny Zon'olombelona i Alkhawaja, mba hihetsika haingana amin'ny toe-draharaha ao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw
10The main Jaw prison incident started on March 10, when an inmate's family was visiting the center and were told their son was barred from visits.Nanomboka ny 10 Marsta ny tranga ratsy lehibe tao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw, raha nitsidika ny fonja ny fianakavian'ny voafonja iray, ary nolazaina fa tsy afaka tsidihana ny zanany.
11The inmate's sister had an exchange with the police officer who reportedly hit her in return.Niresaka tamin'ny mpitandro filaminana ny anabavin'io voafonja io izay notaterina fa nidaroka azy avy eo.
12Outraged inmates who witnessed the incident at the visitation lobby were taken back to the main prison buildings and riots erupted.Naverina tany amin'ireo tranoben'ny fonja daholo ireo voafonja rehetra izay vavolombelona nahita maso ilay zavatra nitranga tao amin'ny efitra fitsidihana, ary dia nipoaka ireo fikomiana.
13In a post written by Bahraini human rights defender Nabeel Rajab before he got arrested for tweeting, he revealed what had happened that day after the inmates were taken back to the main building:Tao amin'ny lahatsoratra nosoratan'i Nabeel Rajab, Bahraini mpiaro ny zon'olombelona, talohan'ny nisamborana azy tamin'ny fandefasana bitsika, noborahany ny zavatra nitranga tamin'io andro io, taorian'ny famerenana ireo voafonja tany amin'ny tranobe:
14They marched the inmates out into the courtyards, where every one of them was beaten and humiliated by the police.Nasain'izy ireo nandeha tao an-tokotany ireo voafonja, izay nanalan'ireo mpitandro filaminana baràka azy sy nikapohany ny tsirairay tamin'izy ireo.
15The forces took shifts terrorizing the inmates, passing the baton between Bahraini police and Jordanian units.Nifandimby nampihorohoro ireo voafonja ireo herin'ny mpitandro filaminana, nifandimby nandray ny kibay ny mpitandro filaminana Bahraini sy ireo sampana Jordaniana.
16The inmates were shot at with shotguns and sound grenades, aimed at their bodies.Notifirina tamin'ny basy sy grenady mankarenin-tsofina, nikendrena ny vatan'ireo voafonja.
17Inmates were forced to address the officers as ‘master', beaten if they asked to be taken to the toilet (where they were given 30 seconds to relieve themselves), beaten during meals, and forced to insult their families or face more beatings.Noterena hiantso ireo mpitandro filaminana hoe ‘Tompo lehibe' ireo voafonja, voadaroka raha tratra mangataka ho any amin'ny trano fivoahana (izay nanomezana azy ireo 30 segondra mba hivoahany), voadaroka mandritra ny fisakafoanana, ary terena hiteny ratsy ireo fianakaviany raha tsy izany miatrika daroka mafimafy kokoa.
18Rajab is the president of Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) and a leading voice for the Bahraini uprising.Rajab no filohan'ny ivontoerana Bahrain ho an'ny Zon'olombelona (BCHR) ary feo mpitarika ho an'ny hetsika fitroarana Bahraini.
19He has been arrested and detained several times since 2011 for different charges, including “inciting gatherings and calling for unauthorized marches through social networking sites”, “participation in an illegal assembly”, and “insulting public institutions.”Imbetsaka nosamborina sy nofonjaina izy hatramin'ny 2011 noho ny fiampangàna maro samihafa, tafiditra amin'izany ny “fihantsiana famoriam-bahoaka ary ny fiantsoana hanao diabe tsy nahazoana alalana, tamin'ireo vohikala tambajotra sosialy”, “fandraisana anjara amin'ny fivoriana tsy nahazoana alalana”, ary “fitenenana ratsy ny andrim-panjakàna.”
20Most of his work has a heavy weight on social media, the main platform for his advocacy for human rights.Manan-danja lehibe eo amin'ny media sosialy ny ankamaroan'ireo asany, ny sehatra tena iarovany ny zon'olombelona.
21Most of his latest arrests are in connection with statements and accusations directed at the government he had published on Twitter.Mifandray amin'ireo filazàny sy fiampangàna mitodika amin'ny governemanta, izay nalefany tamin'ny Twitter, ny ankamaroan'ireo fisamborana azy tato afara.
22His latest arrest on April 2 was related to tweets about abuses at Bahrain's Jaw prison and the crisis in Yemen.Mikasika ireo bitsika momba ny fampijaliana ao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw ao Bahrain, ary ny kirizy ao Yemen, no nisamborana azy farany ny 2 Aprily.
23On May 11, authorities prolonged Rajab's detention for two more weeks after having already extended it several times before.Ny 11 May, nitarin‘ireo manampahefana hiampy roa herinandro indray ny fitazonana an'i Rajab, taorian'ny efa nanitarany azy io imbetsaka tany aloha.
24Also in his letter, Al-Khawaja says prisoners were left out in the prison's yard for three days before they were forced to cramp up in two plastic tents.Tao amin'ny taratasiny ihany koa, milaza i Al-Khawaja fa najanona tany an-tokotanin'ny fonja nandritra ny telo andro ireo voafonja, talohan'ny nanerena azy ireo hijanona tao anatin'ny tranolay plastika niisa roa.
25One tent had 310 prisoners, and the other had 318.Ny iray nisy voafonja 310, ary ny iray hafa nisy 318.
26Inmates revelation to @hrw details the same facts of torture and abuse in Jaw Prison, to which @NABEELRAJAB is being arrested for.Ny famborahana nataon'ireo voafonja tamin'ny @hrw dia milaza antsipirihany tranga mitovy momba ny fampijaliana sy fanararaotana tao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw, izay itànana an'i @NABEELRAJAB.

30- Wenzel Michalski (@WenzelMichalski) May 6, 2015Ilaina ny fitsaboana ara-panafody.
31Authorities reported a different side of the story, claiming that police controlled acts of “violence and vandalism.”Nitatitra ny lafiny hafa amin'ny tantara ireo manampahefana, tamin'ny filazana fa fifehezana tranganà “herisetra sy fanapotehana” no nataon'ireo mpitandro filaminana.
32They cite the prison center's director explaining one of the inmate's family asked to let a relative in with them for visitation, but their request was denied because the visitor did not carry an ID.Namerina ny filazan'ny talen'ny fonja izy ireo, izay nanazava fa nisy fianakavian'ireo voafonja nangataka ny hamela havana hiaraka tamin'izy ireo mandritra ny fitsidihana, fa nolavina ny fangatahan'izy ireo satria tsy nitondra karatra ilay mpitsidika.
33The center's director confirmed that some family members in connection with the incident were arrested, and “police acted to restore control” after a male nurse was taken hostage by prison inmates.Nanamarina ny talen'ny fonja fa nosamborina ny sasany tamin'ireo mpikambana amin'ny fianakaviana izay nifandray tamin'iny resaka iny, ary “mihetsika ireo mpitandro filaminana mba hamerina ny fifehezana ” taorian'ny fangalan'ireo voafonja ankeriny ny lehilahy iray mpitsabo mpanampy.
34On the Ministry of Interior's official Twitter account, they announced that the whole incident had been recorded:Ao amin'ny kaonty Twitter ofisialin'ny Minisitry ny Atitany, nilaza izy ireo fa voarakitra an-tsary daholo ireo tranga niseho rehetra:
35PT: Jaw Prison incidents were documented on videoPT: voarakitra anaty lahatsary ireo tranga niseho tao amin'ny Fonjan'i Jaw
36- Ministry of Interior (@moi_bahrain) March 10, 2015Hatreto, tsy mbola misy lahatsary azon'ny daholobe nojerena.
37Yet no video has been available for the public. Some protested the Formula 1 event that was held at Bahrain International Circuit from April 17 to 19, saying it prevented attention from real issues and violations taking place behind the scenes:Ny sasany nanao hetsi-panoherana ilay hetsika “Formule 1″ natao tao amin'ny Làlana Iraisam-pirenena Bahrain ny 17 ka hatamin'ny 19 Aprily, milaza fa nanakona ny fijerena ny tena olana marina sy ireo fanitsakitsahana miseho any ambadiky ny sehatra io:

39- BAHRAINDOCTOR (@BAHRAINDOCTOR) April 17, 2015 On May 8, the King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa issued a royal decree pardoning a number of inmates for “humanitarian reasons”.Ny 8 May, namoaka didin'ny mpanjaka ny Mpanjakan'i Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, izay mamela heloka ireo voafonja maromaro, ho an'ny “antony amin'ny maha-olona”.
40Anti-government activists and protesters believe it is a move to cover up to the real violations and horrific treatment of prisoners.Ireo mpikatroka mafana fo mpanohitra ny governemanta, sy ireo mpanao hetsi-panoherana dia mino fa hetsika iray natao io ho entina hanaronana ny tena fanitsakitsahana sy ny fitondràna mahatsiravina ireo voafonja.
41The regime in Bahrain got stuck with 4,000 inmates in addition to outrage on the street, so it decided to release some prisoners to have more space for new arrests, and that's why it issued a so-called “royal decree”Mihitsoka miaraka amin'ny voafonja miisa 4.000 ny fitondràna ao Bahrain, ho fanampin'ny fanalàna baràka eny amin'ny làlana, noho izany, nanapakevitra izy ny hamotsotra voafonja sasany mba hahazoany toerana malalaka ho an'ireo fisamborana vaovao, ary izany no namoahany io lazaina ho “didin'ny mpanjaka” io.
42According to the announcement, the decree includes female inmates, inmates who have special medical conditions, inmates under the age of 18, those sentenced to less than three years, as well as inmates who co-operated and showed “commitment and responsiveness to social and drug rehabilitation programs.”Araka ilay fanambaràna, tafiditra ao amin'ilay didy ireo vehivavy voafonja, ireo voafonja manana fepetra manokana amin'ny fitsaboana, ny voafonja latsaky ny 18 taona, ireo nahazo sazy latsaky ny telo taona, ary ireo voafonja nifanaraka sy nampiseho “fandraisana andraikitra sy nivoatra ara-tsosialy ary tamin'ny tetikasa fanarenana ny mpifoka rongony.”
43Dozens of people tweeted to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan Méndez the same messages multiple times, hoping to gain his attention:Olona am-polony no nandefa bitsika imbetsaka ho an'i Juan Méndez, Mpitatitra Manokan'ny Firenena Mikambana momba ny Fampijaliana, manantena ny mba hahazo ny fijeriny:

47- BahraniAseel (@BahraniAseel) May 9, 2015 Al-Khawaja letter listed a number of prisoners' cases in his letter, and revealed torture methods used by officers and guards including sleep deprivation, beating, denying medical treatment and banning them from accessing the toilet.Nitanisa ireo tranga manjo voafonja maro ao anatin'ny taratasiny ny taratasin'‘i Al-Khawaja, ary namboraka ireo fomba fampijaliana ampiasain'ireo mpitandro filaminana sy ireo mpiambina, tafiditra amin'izany ny famerana tsy mahazo matory, fidarohana, fandavana tsy hanome fitsaboana ary famerana azy ireo tsy handeha any amin'ny trano fivoahana.
48Abuses and violations still continue today:Mbola mitohy ankehitriny ireo fanararaotana sy fanitsakitsahana:

50- AHMED HUSSAIN (@iA7med80_) April 4, 2015 Torture in Jaw prison is ongoing and we have to mobilize and let the world know what prisoners go through.Mbola misy ny fampijaliana ao amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw, ary tokony manentana sy mampahafantatra ny tany tontolo ny zavatra atrehan'ireo voafonja isika.
51Deliver the message to the outside.Alefaso any ivelany ny hafatra.
52Human Rights Watch has called for an independent investigation into torture allegations.Niantso ny hisian'ny fanadihadiana tsy miankina momba ireo fiampangàna fampijaliana ireo ny “Human Rights Watch” (Fijerena ny Zon'olombelona).
53HRW Deputy Middle East and North Africa Director Joe Stork said: “The authorities need to allow independent medical access to the prison at once and ensure their access to building 10, where the most serious abuses are alleged to have taken place.”Nilaza ny Tale lefitry ny HRW any Afovoany Atsinanana sy Afrika Avaratra, Joe Stork, hoe: “Mila manome alalana ireo mpitsabo tsy miankina hiditra ao amin'ny fonja ireo manampahefana, ary miantoka ny fidiran'izy ireo ao amin'ny Tranobe faha-10, izay lazaina fa nitrangan'ireo fampijaliana tena henjana.”
54Families of those who were involved in the March 10 riot say some inmates are still not allowed to receive visitors, or make phone calls to their relatives.Ny fianakavian'ireo izay tafiditra tamin'ilay fikomiana ny 10 Martsa dia milaza fa mbola misy tsy mahazo mandray mpitsidika ireo voafonja sasany, na mandefa antso an-tariby amin'ireo havany.
55Jaw prison is built for a capacity of 448 inmates, but currently detains about 1,000 inmates.Naorina ho afaka mandray voafonja miisa 448 ny fonjan'i Jaw, nefa ankehitriny izy mitazona voafonja miisa eo amin'ny 1.000 eo.
56Al-Khawaja is the former president and co-founder of BCHR, and an icon of the Bahraini uprising.Filoha teo aloha sady mpanorina ny BCHR i Alkhawaja, ary endrika amantarana ny fitroaran'ny Bahraini.
57He was arrested on April 9, 2011, and is currently serving a life sentence in Jaw prison.Nosamborina izy ny 9 Aprily 2011, ary manefa sazy mandrapahafaty any amin'ny fonjan'i Jaw ankehitriny.
58His active role in the field of human rights made him a subject for government harassment.Mahatonga azy ho sotasotain'ny governemanta foana ny fandraisany anjara mavitrika amin'ny sehatry ny zon'olombelona.
59His daughters Maryam and Zainab Al-Khawaja are also active in the human rights field.Ireo zanany vavy, Maryam sy Zainab Alkhawaja, dia mavitrika ihany koa amin'ny sehatry ny zon'olombelona.
60This is not Al-Khawaja's first hunger strike.Tsy fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina voalohany nataon'i Alkhawaja ito.
61In fact, he went on several hunger strikes since the beginning of the uprising in protest of government's actions and abuses.Ny tena marina, imbetsaka nanao fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina izy hatry ny fanombohan'ny fitroarana hanoherana ireo hetsika sy fanararaotan'ny governemanta.
62Most notable is the “Freedom or Death” hunger strike that lasted for about three months.Ny tena goavana dia ny fitokonana tsy nihinan-kanina nandritra ny telo volana nantsoina hoe “Fahafahana na Fahafatesana”.
63Al-Khawaja continues to be on hunger strike waiting for authorities to take his demands into account and follow up with serious measures to stop the violations against prisoners.Mbola manohy mitokona tsy mihinan-kanina i Alkhawaja, miandry ireo manampahefana hijery ireo fangatahany, ary avy eo handray fepetra matotra mba hampitsaharana ny fanitsakitsahana atao amin'ireo voafonja.
