Saudi Arabia Executes Alleged Bahraini Militants After Unfair Trial

Saudi Arabia executed two Bahraini men who were convicted of belonging to a militant group that aimed to destabilize the two kingdoms. Amnesty International criticized their trial as "grossly unfair," and the men had no access to legal representation throughout their pre-trial detention and interrogations. The men faced charges for participating in anti-government protests in Bahrain, and they claimed that their confessions were extracted under duress. Saudi Arabia is one of the world's top executors and typically beheads prisoners sentenced to death.
