The events leading up to these executions were a catalogue of human rights violations\u00a0\u2013 including forced \u2018confessions\u2019, torture and unfair trials.<\/p>\n<p>On 15 January 2017, the Bahraini authorities executed Ali Al-Singace (21), Abbas Al-Samea (27) and Sami Mushaima (42) by firing squad. The families came to the\u00a0prison the day before, but the guards refused to say if they were\u00a0about to be executed.<\/p>\n<p>They are the first people executed in Bahrain since 2010, and the first Bahrainis executed since 1996. Their executions came less than a week after Bahrain\u2019s highest court upheld their death sentences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The executions were conducted in direct contravention of Bahrain\u2019s international obligations. The\u00a0UN Special Rapporteur, Dr Agnes Callamard, called their\u00a0executions \u201cextrajudicial killings\u201d.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_color_hover=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;5px&#8221; column_border_color=&#8221;#e35e14&#8243; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"boxed\" align=\"center\">\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Quick facts<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Execution method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Firing squad<\/p>\n<p><strong>Executions in 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Executions in 2016:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No\u00a0executions were carried out in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Notable executions<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9365 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/reprieveus.flywheelsites.com.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Abbas-Ali-Sami.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/reprieveus.flywheelsites.com.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Abbas-Ali-Sami.png 640w, http:\/\/reprieveus.flywheelsites.com.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Abbas-Ali-Sami-300x188.png 300w, http:\/\/reprieveus.flywheelsites.com.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Abbas-Ali-Sami-587x367.png 587w, http:\/\/reprieveus.flywheelsites.com.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Abbas-Ali-Sami-192x120.png 192w, http:\/\/reprieveus.flywheelsites.com.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Abbas-Ali-Sami-616x385.png 616w\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"118\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>On Sunday 15th January 2017, three men were executed by firing squad in Bahrain.<\/strong>Their names were Ali Al-Singace, Abbas Al-Samea and Sami Mushaima.<\/p>\n<p>The three men were targeted due to their families\u2019 links to political opposition and convicted on spurious grounds.
