Mohammed Mushaima (born c.1988, died in Manama, Bahrain on 2 October 2012) was a Bahraini political activist. He was serving seven-year sentence for taking part in anti-government demonstration and was pronounced dead as a result of complications from sickle-cell anemia. His lawyers say they had asked the bahraini courts to release Mushaima because of his bad health, but the court had rejected their request. Suffering from bad health, he had been admitted to hospital on August 29, 2012 while serving his sentence. Opposition sources say he died due to "torture and medical negligence" by the authorities.
