Bahrain’s top court has upheld the death sentence for two activists convicted of killing a police officer despite an outcry from human rights organizations who say false confessions were obtained through torture.
Mohammed Ramadhan, a security guard at Bahrain's international airport, and Husain Moosa, a hotel worker, were arrested in 2014 in connection to a bombing that killed a police officer in a village near the kingdom’s capital, Manama. The two men were each sentenced to death for terrorism.
