Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa will be speaking on constitutional reform in the Gulf Arab nation.
 
Activists and the opposition say little has been done to achieve reforms outlined in a report which criticised last year's crackdown on dissent.
 
Maryam Al Khawaja is the head of the International Office of Bahrain Human Rights Society and the daughter of imprisoned political prisoner Abdulhadi Al Khawaja who has been on hunger strike for nearly three months.
 
She spoke exclusively to Al Jazeera's on her views on the proposed King's speech.
