A new report by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry has revealed that five Shia Bahraini prisoners have died due to torture by the Persian Gulf regime.
The inquiry panel says three of the deaths took place while the prisoners were in custody of Bahraini security forces.
The commission has reportedly called for further investigation of the issue.
The five Shia prisoners were among the protesters who were arrested during anti-regime demonstrations in Bahrain.
Bahraini forces have killed scores of Shia since the anti-regime demonstrations erupted in February.
