Bahrain refuses to transfer hunger striker to Denmark Bahraini Shiite demonstrators hold posters of jailed activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja during a protest Friday. (CNN) -- Bahrain said Sunday it will not hand over Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, a human rights activist on a two-month hunger strike, to Denmark as requested. The Supreme Judiciary Council said Al-Khawaja did not meet the conditions stipulated in its criminal procedures law to hand over the accused to foreign countries, the Bahrain News Agency reported. Al-Khawaja had lived once in Denmark and holds Danish citizenship. He is protesting the life sentence he received for his role in anti-government demonstrations that continue to roil his country. Sunday marked the 60th day of his hunger strike and the first anniversary of his arrest. Bahraini authorities also charged Al-Khawaja's daughter with assaulting a public employee after she tried to visit her father. Zainab al-Khawaja was charged and released Saturday after her arrest Thursday outside a military hospital where her father was receiving care, the Bahrain News Agency said. She was arrested again Saturday. Her sister said she has been released but government spokesman Abdul-Aziz al Khalifa said he did not know whether she has been released. The Bahrain Center for Human Rights -- a group Abdulhadi al-Khawaja founded -- said he had recently called his family, saying he was mistreated by guards and hospital staff. After she saw a picture of her father looking thin and frail, Zainab al-Khawaja ran to the interior ministry complex Thursday and called out his name, she told CNN. Al Khalifa said Saturday that Abdulhadi al-Khawaja was in stable condition and receiving "the utmost care that is available." He added that three doctors, one of them Danish, has kept a round-the-clock eye on the father for three weeks. Al-Khawaja was arrested in April 2011 for his role in anti-government protests that began a month earlier with demands for political reform and greater freedoms in the Sunni-ruled, Shiite-majority nation. Opposition groups say more than 1,000 people -- mainly Shiites -- were detained for allegedly taking part. Abdulhadi al-Khawaja can appeal his life sentence during a hearing on April 23, the government said.
