Bahraini court acquits five policemen of torture charges

Bahrain’s First High Criminal Court acquitted  five policemen

Bahrain’s First High Criminal Court acquitted  five policemen of charges of torturing detainees to extract false confessions.
Since 2011, the violations committed by security forces against citizens have increased, following the crackdown on nation-wide pro-democracy protests led by a Shia majority suffering from marginalization.
Human Rights Watch confirmed recently in a report that the ongoing violations result from Bahrain’s continued policy of impunity.
