Today marks the 60th day of my fathers hungerstrike, and 1 year exactly since his brutal arrest
We have not heard anything from my father today, not allowed a visit or even a call
Last night we got a call from my father, he could barely talk and had a hard time breathing
When I heard my fathers condition is this bad, and know he was being harrased by staff & guards I went to try to see him again
I had been released a few hours back after spending 2 days in prison & 7 hours in the public prosecution for interrogations
I had little hope they wud let me into the military hospital to see my father, but I had to try at least
As I walked towards the hospital, police recognized me & shouted "Its Alkhawajas daughter, grab her!"
I ran inside the hospital but did not know where my father was, I started calling him
I was thinking, even if they didn't let me see him I hope he at least hears me, & knows I'm here for him
three men grabbed me and pushed me to the ground, but I kept shouting for my father
ppl gathered & one of the men told me "if you keep quiet we'll take you to see ur father now" I said ok
The minute I took a step outside the hospital they pushed me to the ground, & tied my hands together
The put me in a wheelchair & tied my legs to the wheelchair as well, I said "you're not a man of ur word"
Thats when they taped my mouth, & took me to a security room
In the security room a tall older man wearing traditional thoub came to "speak" to me
1st he declared "I am like ur father & ur like my daughter, & we are ruled by a king of mercy"
He then said "infact u can call me mercy, tell me what you want, u want to see your father? I'll take u to him myself"
asked him "is this how u usally talk to ur daughters, with them tied onto a wheelchair?"
He said "ur a girl, thats why u have a small brain, listen to me & learn & obey. If u dont I'll pull u out of here like a sheep"
he said smiling "imagine ur fathers face when I tell him his daughter came today, & I dragged her on the ground like an animal"
He started shouting & banging his fist on the wheelchair I was in, told me I had to go for interrogations now
He called some security police & told them to go check if any1 filmed them dragging me
he said "u know why we did this to u, we dont know who u r, how should we know ur his daughter"
"you could be an enemy, trying to harm Alkhawaja and we must protect him. Thats y we attacked u"
i replied "ur men yelled that its alkhawajas daughter before they attacked me"
he continued "Infact I still dont know who the hell u are, u cud be any1, how do i kno ur Zainab?"
I said "why dont u google my name if ur really this unsure" he replied "i dont know this word, only word I know is.. eem.. Sketch"
Obviously this is one of the most absurd "conversations" I've ever had in my life
It ended when I said I wont leave without seeing my father, & he grabbed me from my clothes & pulled me to a car
In the drive to the military headquarters, the same man brought with him a big rifle, which he pointed in my direction
In the military headquarters they brought men with cameras to film me, one of them looked hestitant & very sad
he walked away the same guy in the thoub called him & said "r u ashamed to take her pictures, shez filth, take as many as u want"
The I was interrogated at the military prosection, I refused to answerr any questions without a lawyer
I also told the interrogater that "I refuse to leave with the man who brought me here"
when they realized the probably had to beat me to get me in the same car with him, they put me in a prisoner vehicle instead
Its like a cage, with padding, and pitch dark. So dark that even when they spoke to me they cudnt see me
I realized this was probably the same kind of vehicle they transported my father in for his miltary trials
a very kind policewoman brought me water & told me to sleep, and I did for a little while
Then I was taken to Riffa police station, where I was interrogated with but this time in the presence of my lawyer
A question they asked me in the military prosecution is what made me realize what they were charging me with
"Did you REALLY tell a security personnel that he is NOT a man??!!" and they looked shocked at my crime too
