  • She is reportedly held in a small, filthy, airless, rat-infested cell with unclean food and water.
  • Bibi suffers significant weight loss, infections, fainting, and untreated medical issues like a tooth abscess.
  • UN expert Alice Jill Edwards highlights her near-total isolation, often over 22 hours daily, without access to legal or family visits.
