Maryam al-Khawaja the acting president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights gives Tunisia Live an update on both her father Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and her sister Zainab that started hunger strikes on Sunday 03/17/2013. She also talks about the human rights campaigner Nabeel Rajab, jailed for three years and the current situation in Bahrain.
