The Bahraini authorities at Jaw Jail prevented the political detainee Sheikh Ali Salman from receiving visitors and phone calls, the cleric's wife told Al-Manar website.

"The regime deprived from the cleric from his basic rights," she said.

The Bahraini regime troops arrested the Secretary General of al-Wefaq Association Sheikh Ali Salman in 2013 when he attended to Criminal Investigation Department after receiving a summon request.

Sheikh Salman is considered as a key figure in the Bahraini opposition which has been demanding that the dictatorial regime grants the citizens their political and socio-economic rights.

Peaceful revolution erupted in Bahrain on February 2011, however, the monarchy of Hamad bin Issa Al-Khalifa launched a brutal crackdown on the people, who are demanding democracy and social reform.
