Free Muslim calls for Amnesty International to save Bahrain activists from the risk of execution
The International Nonviolence Organization, Free Muslim, called on Amnesty International to urgently intervene to save dozens of Bahraini youth activists in the field of rights from the threat of death sentences issued against them.
In a statement, the organization said that more than twenty-five Bahraini activists are facing the death penalty after rulings issued by courts that lack standards of transparency and integrity, while other activists said that all confessions were extracted by force and under psychological and physical torture.
The organization indicated that the Bahraini government’s human rights record witnessed an unprecedented deterioration after the authorities pursued human rights activists and political opponents in ways that lack legitimacy, and often promoted ready-made accusations against them, while they carried out execution sentences after suspicious trials.
