 The dying father of a Bahraini detainee held at Guantanamo Bay has made a final heart-rending plea to see his son, a Bahraini newspaper reported yesterday. Mohammed Al-Dossary, who suffers from throat cancer, is urging Bahraini authorities and rights activists for help in getting his son Juma released, said the Gulf Daily News. Al-Dossary was admitted to the intensive care unit at a hospital in Dammam on Thursday for complications following surgery. He has not seen his son for nearly four years and is said to be in and out of consciousness.
| Stop tugging at my heartstrings like that. You're getting them all stretched out of shape. |
The plea was made Friday by the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. âHis family contacted us and conveyed the request of Jumaâs father to see his son before he dies,â its president Nabeel Rajab said. âThe father even sent a letter to the center before undergoing the operation, pleading to see his son for fear that he would die without having the chance to do so,â he added.
| I wonder if the Bahrain Center for Human Rights might consider taking up the cases of the people Sonny bumped off before being captured? Maybe they can arrange some sort of deathbed meeting with the parents, wives, children, and other close relatives of the dear departed. |
