Three United Nations rapporteurs expressed concern after the death penalty was issued against two Bahrainis, who were allegedly tortured to extract confession to the killing of a policeman in February 2014.

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has expressed grave concern that the Bahraini Court of Cassation, the Supreme Court of Bahrain, has upheld the death penalty against two Bahrainis, whose confessions were allegedly extracted under torture.

The Parliament will soon discuss a draft bill proposed by the government on the Youth Criminal Justice Act. One of the most prominent articles mentioned in the draft states that if the offence is punishable by death, it is reduced to temporary imprisonment or at least one-year prison term.

The High Criminal Appeals Court adjourned, for the second time in row, the ruling in case of death convicts Hussein Mousa and Mohammad Ramadan until January 8, 2020.

Amnesty International called to take an urgent action in case of Mohammad Ramadan Isa Ali Hussein and Hussein Ali Mousa Hussein Mohammad who were sentenced to death in Bahrain.

A Bahraini court upheld death penalty issued against a Bahraini who killed two Asians with a hammer and attempted to murder a third one.

The High Criminal Appeals Court ordered the Public Prosecution for the second time to bring a security video of a bomb explosion in Al-Dair, the case over which Mohammad Ramadan and Hussein Mousa were sentenced to death.

The three Bahrainis who have fallen victims are "witnesses to the dark injustice to which their people have been subjected," said the Shiite spiritual leader in Bahrain Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, who called for continued pursuit of "the right to religion, freedom and dignity."

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights strongly condemned the execution of two Bahraini citizens, Ali Mohamed Hakeem Al-Arab, 25, and Ahmed Isa Al-Malali, 24, and called on the authorities in Manama to abolish the death penalty.

This is not surprising as the Bahraini authorities are accustomed to playing the “blood game” that they use every time they want to confront their opponents.

The Political Bureau of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah Movement denounced the crimes committed by the regime in Bahrain against the people, particularly the execution of activists Ali Al-Arab and Ahmad Al-Malali.

"I would have liked to be martyred in another way, but it happened in the end," said prisoner Ahmad Al-Malali, who was facing imminent execution within hours by security authorities in Bahrain over the death of officer Hisham Al-Hammadi, which is a case based on no evidence but confessions extracted under systematic torture, which is considered to be the master of evidence in the courts of Bahrain.

Former Bahraini MP Ali Alaswad, commenting on the Bahraini authorities’ decision to execute Ali Al-Arab and Ahmad Al-Malali, said the official support of the international community for authoritarian and dictatorial governments in the Arab world is one of the reasons why there are ongoing repression, killings and displacement.

You have stained your hands with our blood to the extent that we hate the sight or mention of your name. You have made us fall in despair, not from a change in our conditions, which is deemed a sinful form of despair, but despair of expecting anything good from your dismal face. Your face doesn’t bode goodness or exude even a false ray of hope. How dark and tyrannical you are!

Bahrain executed on Saturday (July 27, 2019) Ali Al-Arab after accusing him of joining a terrorist group and murdering a policeman, but the question remains: Does Bahrain have even one piece of evidence to convict him?

Amnesty International stressed today that the Bahraini authorities must urgently halt the imminent execution of two men who were convicted after a grossly unfair mass trial after they were tortured to confess, said.

A UN human rights expert said Bahrain must halt the reportedly imminent execution of two men who were sentenced to death on the basis of confessions allegedly obtained through torture, and after trials which appear not to have fulfilled guarantees of fairness and due process.

Bahraini authorities appear ready to carry out death sentences against Ali al-Arab, 25, and Ahmad al-Malali, 24, both Bahraini citizens, Human Rights Watch said today.

Prominent human rights activist, Ebtisam Al-Sayegh, said the family of prisoner sentenced to death, Ahmad Al-Malali, were told by a prison officer that the visit was based on "orders from above".

The parents of prisoners, Ali Al-Arab and Ahmad Al-Malali, who are sentenced to death, said they had received phone calls from the Jaw Central Prison administration informing them that they have an unscheduled private visit with their sons, which raised concerns that the authorities would soon execute the death sentence.
