Bahrain Independent Commission: 5 Bahraini Detainees Tortured to Death
Local Editor
A new report by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry has revealed that five Bahraini "prisoners" have died due to torture by the Khalifa regime.
The inquiry panel says three of the deaths took place while the Bahrainee prisoners were in custody of Bahraini security forces.
The commission has reportedly called for further investigation into the issue.
The five prisoners were among the protesters who were arrested during anti-regime demonstrations Bahrain.
Earlier on November 23, the commission issued a report saying that the Manama regime had used "excessive force, including the extraction of forced confessions against detainees," in efforts to crush the demonstrations in the country.
