From this second group, 54 political prisoners have now been released. On April 8, another group of 73 prisoners were scheduled to be released under alternative sentences, bringing the total number of prisoners released since the implementation of the alternative penal code to 3,297. Nevertheless, official statements continue to be delivered which deny the reality of the situation in the prisons and conceal the failures to take appropriate health measures during the pandemic. Officially, the Ministry of Interior only confessed to one case on February 2, 2021, and to three cases on March 23, 2021, in order to prevent the Ministry of Health from publishing the names and numbers of daily injuries.

The rapid spread of the virus in Bahraini prisons and the registration of large numbers of infections stemmed directly from the failure of authorities to provide the necessary health care and the minimal means of prevention offered to prisoners to protect themselves from the virus. In making this decision, the authorities attempted to divert attention away from their inherent failure to manage the pandemic, and the health crisis that befell political prisoners as a result. The rest of the prisoners who were included in the decision are all criminal prisoners. This prisoner of conscience was arrested on charges of reciting Ziyarat Ashuraon September 3, 2020, and had only a mere two months remaining until the end of his sentence. On April 2, 2021, Assistant Attorney General Wael Buallay claimed that 126 prisoners would be released under the alternative penal code, knowing that this decision included only one prisoner of conscience.
