The secretive military court which was reportedly trying seven detained Shi’ite protesters in Bahrain has reached a verdict, according to the nation’s state media. Four of the seven will be executed, while three others will face life in prison.
The state news agency praised the impending executions as proof of Bahrain’s “profound commitment to the protection of precious lives.” The seven were charged with killing police during the security forces’ crackdown on public protests.
Though a death penalty has been on the book for Bahrain the entire time, it has been extremely rare in the nation, and a de facto moratorium has existed for several years. The four executions will be as many as have been executed on the tiny island in the last 33 years combined.
Bahrain is currently under a state of martial law, which was announced last month in response to growing public protests by the Shi’ite majority. 1,500 foreign troops, mostly from Saudi Arabia, have also deployed to the nation to help the regime crack down on political dissent.
This the result of US government helping these tyrants.., there is not a single shoot been fired by demonstrators and its been peaceful since day one.., this is the result of falsified democracy by state department and its managers.., if these people are killed by the tyrants their blood is on their hand.., Hillary Clinton need to answer the questions.., did she also promised the Tyrants that US government going to be silence when they killing people whom been demonstrating for freedom.
Surely the protesters are unarmed solders fighting the Bahrain War of Independence, a real war to break free of their imperial master Saudi Arabia, so how can they execute solders acting in self-defense? Civilian solders fighting under real battlefield conditions, did they commit war crimes that they should be condemned to death? Four unarmed heroes of the Bahrain Revolution, martyred by a despotic king.
To: Jamal. And just who we must ask does Hillary Clinton answer to? Yes, we have a voting majority comprised of the 51% most aggressive and wealthy in American, but her political masters giving trillions to multination banks and shipping millions of jobs overseas shows clearly that she is not even answering to them. Could it be that Empire USA is ruled by the richest and most powerful multinational rich? Could it be that the Saudi Arabia rich nobility are part of this power combine that rules our war-hawk nation, and that Ms. dominant and assertive Hillary must in essence answer to them?
