Five Bahraini activists die due to torture

IRIB - Five Bahraini activists imprisoned by the Bahraini regime have died due to torture, PressTV quoted a new report by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry as revealing.

The inquiry panel says three of the deaths took place while the 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.

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.
