BRITAIN’S links to the Bahraini dictatorship are back in the spotlight after a dramatic weekend in which three prisoners were executed, a protester died in suspicious circumstances and a dissident occupied the roof of the country’s embassy in London.

Exiled activist Moosa Mohamed scaled the Gulf monarchy’s diplomatic headquarters in Belgravia on Friday night to demand PM Boris Johnson intervene in the imminent execution of two Bahraini prisoners.

Footage shows Mr Mohamed perched on the embassy’s four-storey-high roof before diplomats moved in.
