Alleged irregularities in the trials of human rights defenders, including possible acts of reprisals for co-operation with the United Nations against one of them, and alleged torture or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of another while in detention. According to the information received, on 25 June 2013, Ms Zainab Alkhawaja was sentenced to two further months of imprisonment on the basis of charges of having assaulted two police officers while in detention. It is also reported that on 1 July 2013, the Court of Cassation rejected the application of Mr Mahdi Abu Deeb to suspend previous convictions against him until the completion of investigations of allegations of torture or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment against him. It is further reported that Mr Mahdi Abu Deeb does not receive adequate medical attention in detention, and has possibly been subjected to torture. Moreover, Mr Mohamed Al-Maskati reportedly faces trial on charges of “participation in illegal protests”, after his co-operation with the United Nations during the Universal Periodic Review of the Kingdom of Bahrain.Alleged victims: 3 More details... |
