Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini activist Ali Mushaima started a peaceful protest in front of the Bahraini Embassy in London.

This protest will last for one week to stand in solidarity with detained academic Abduljalil Al-Singace and to demand the release of his father, Mr. Hasan Mushaima, whose health is severely deteriorating.

Ali Mushaima announced earlier that this sit-in will last for 8 hours a day and will be followed by a hunger strike in solidarity with detained academic Al-Singace, who has been on hunger strike since more than 130 days.

The Embassy of Bahrain in London filed a complaint with the British police, where two police officers attempted to move Ali Mushaima from the front of the building to the opposite street, but Mushaima stressed on his right to hold a peaceful sit-in next to the building.

"Out of loyalty and return of favor, I decided, with complete determination, to begin protest steps, after which I will join Dr. Abduljalil al-Singace in his hunger strike in the battle of the empty stomachs," Mushaima said via his Twitter account a few days ago.
