THE government has been accused of financially supporting “serious and persistent” human rights abuses by security services in Bahrain in a new report by Human Rights Watch today.

The 61-page report highlights the cases of eight men who say they were tortured at the Bahraini Interior Ministry Criminal Investigation Directorate. 

They are all defendants on death row in Bahrain for homicide but claim they were tortured into confessing to crimes they didn’t commit.
