Alwaght- Leading human rights organizations have called on the Aal Khalifa regime in Bahrain to drop the death sentences based on confessions extracted under torture
In a statement several Bahraini human rights organizations have expressed great concern regarding the death penalty sentence of two young men who were exposed to brutal tortured to extract confessions of having committed the murder of a policeman in the Dar village near the Bahrain International Airport area.
The rights groups pointed out that the Court of Cassation had issued on November 16, 2015 its decision to uphold the death sentence against both: Mr. Mohamed Ramadan, and Mr. Hussein Ali Moussa, on the basis of evidence extracted under torture, and from the judicial institution that has been criticized international from human rights organizations for not implementing any radical reforms and lacks terms of a fair trial.
They noted that the decision came at a time when authorities did not allow until now the Special Rapporteur of the UN / special Rapporteur on torture, "Mr.Juan Méndez" to visit Bahrain.
"This harsh sentence against two of the prisoners of conscience and five citizens are still waiting for the final decision to the Court of Cassation, in addition to all unfair trials held against hundreds of all citizens reflect a fundamental flaw in the judicial system in Bahrain and penalizing those who exercise their right to express opinion," added the statement
The statement was issued by Bahrain Forum for Human Rights, European Bahraini Organizations for Human Rights, Salam for Democracy and Human Rights; Justice Human Rights Organization, Lualua Center for Human Rights, Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights, Bahrain Center for Human Rights, and the Bahrain Human Rights Observatory.
The rights groups also called on international human rights organizations to put pressure on the government of Bahrain in order to immediately cease all violations and full commitment to the UN Bill of Human Rights and implementation of the above demands and begin to implement the recommendations of the Independent Fact-Finding Commission and the recommendations of the Human Rights Council.
Since February 14th 2011, Bahrain has seen frequent peaceful protests demanding political change, but the security forces have responded harshly with it. During the continuing popular uprising dozens have been killed and thousands wounded. The US-backed Bahraini monarchy has also detained the opponents of political human rights activists, and the political critics, and they often use torture forcing them to confess.
