Ali al-Arab (left) and Ahmad al-Malali (right) are executed to be executed tomorrow (Saturday July 26)
BAHRAIN’s dictator was urged today to commute the death sentences of two men expected to be executed tomorrow after they were convicted in a trial that relied on forced confessions.
Ali al-Arab and Ahmad al-Malali were arrested on February 9 2017 and sentenced to death on January 31 last year.
Mr Arab’s family told human rights organisations that during his interrogation, investigators beat and electrocuted him and pulled out his toenails. He was also forced to sign a “confession” while blindfolded.
