BAHRAIN: REGIME COURTS ISSUED DEATH SENTENCES FOR 32 ACTIVISTS SINCE 2011

The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) on 13 November 2018 condemned the kingdom’s persistence on passing death sentences against anti-regime activists, calling the practice an “inhuman punishment” as the ruling Aal-e Khalifah regime presses ahead with its heavy clampdown on political dissidents and pro-democracy activists.
According to Press TV, the center, in a statement announced that law courts have issued death sentences against 32 opposition figures since 2011, of which three have been carried out, seven have been commuted to life imprisonment and two others been appealed.
