Zainab Alkhawaja, the daughter of detained hunger striker Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, has been writing about her detention last night --- her second in 48 hours --- as she stood outside the military hospital where her father is being held:
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 anyone filmed them dragging me. He said, "You know why we did this to you. We don't know who you are. How should we know you are his daughter? You could be an enemy, trying to harm Alkhawaja and we must protect him. That's why we attacked you."
I replied, "Your men yelled that it's Alkhawaja's daughter before they attacked me."
He continued, "In fact I still don't know who the hell you are. You could be anyone, how do I know you're Zainab?"
