Shia Rights Watch was informed of the recent decision of Bahraini court to execute one and jail several civilians because of their involvement in the pro-democracy and reform peaceful protects.
The organization expresses strong opposition to the decision and believes Bahrain courts do not follow international standards and do not meet qualification criteria. This sectarian and violent decision must be prevented from implementation and the court has to provide enough evidence in order to prove the guiltiness of the detainees.
The government abuses laws, tortures and kills innocent people because they demand reform and equality. Although the king claimed reform, his actions, and the government’s decisions to arrest and execute peaceful protestors proves that the government is not interested in any political, social and economic reform. The act of the government is resulting in an increase of sectarian conflicts, and distrust between followers of different sects in this country.
SRW believes the Bahraini government has committed all possible crimes against its citizen and must be held responsible in international human rights courts.
