Bahrain executed on Saturday three men convicted in two separate cases, one involving the killing of a police officer and the other the killing of a mosque imam, APA reports citing Reuters.
Two of the men, Shi’ite activists Ali al-Arab and Ahmed al-Malali, were sentenced to death last year in a mass trial along with another 56 men who were convicted and given jail terms on “terrorism crimes”.
Alleging they were part of a terrorist cell trained to use heavy weapons and explosives, the court jailed 19 for life and 37 for terms of up to 15 years. The prosecutor’s statement said the men were convicted for crimes including using an assault rifle to kill a police officer in 2017, in attacks orchestrated by what it called Iran-based ringleaders.
