On January 9, 2017, the Court of Cassation in Bahrain upheld the death penalty of three young citizens; Ali AbdulShahid Singace, Sami Mirza Mushaima and Abbas Jamil Tahir Muhammad Samee on the background of bombing in AlDaih village that led to the death of three security men on March 3, 2014 as the authority claims.  The victims’ families are concerned of the implementation of the death penalty, especially after calling them today, January 14 to visit all the three sentences young men during weekend and unplanned visit .

Bahrain Human Rights Society believes in the right to life and condemns murders and it believes that the death penalty is a harsh punishment intended to only take revenge.   Accordingly, BHRS appeals His Majesty, King of Bahrain not to ratify the sentences; it also appeals your esteemed organization to call upon the Bahraini government to stop the implementation of the death penalty of the three convicts and urge it to abandon the decision .
