Bahrain court upholds death sentence and life terms against anti-regime defendants

‘A court in Bahrain has upheld a death sentence and fourteen life terms handed down to 15 citizens as the Manama regime presses ahead with its crackdown on human rights activists and pro-democracy campaigners in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
On Thursday, Bahrain’s Court of Appeal found the defendants guilty of killing a member of the Jordanian forces assisting Manama in its crackdown on Bahrainis during clashes in the coastal village of Dumistan, which lies on the western shore of the country, in early December 2014.
The court also pressed charges of membership in a group responsible for killing a police officer and a civilian against the defendants, and accused them of making bombs besides possession and use of munitions against regime forces.’
