None

Two men convicted in a mass terrorism trial were executed in Bahrain, the kingdom's authorities announced Saturday in a case that activists have decried and that U.N. human rights experts had expressed concerns over.

 

Activists identified the two as Ali al-Arab, 25, and Ahmed al-Malali, 24. The Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy said the two had exhausted all their legal appeals after being sentenced to death in a mass trial alongside 58 other men in January 2018.
