====Sami Mushaima, Ali Al-Singace, Abbas Al-Samea (2017) executed==== On 15 January 2017, [[Bahrain]]i authorities executed three [[torture]] victims following authorization by [[King Hamad]]. [[Sami Mushaima]] (42), [[Ali Al-Singace]] (21) and [[Abbas Al-Samea]] (27) were [[executed]] by firing squad.<ref name="adhrd">{{cite news|title=Bahrain Executes Stateless Torture Victims Following King Hamad's Authorization|url=http://www.adhrb.org/2017/01/bahrain-executes-stateless-torture-victims-following-king-hamads-authorisation/|agency=Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Bahrain executes Shia convicted of fatal bomb attack|url=https://www.ft.com/content/e8efe5ba-db04-11e6-9d7c-be108f1c1dce |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/e8efe5ba-db04-11e6-9d7c-be108f1c1dce |archive-date=2022-12-10 |url-access=subscription|agency=THE FINANCIAL TIMES LTD}}</ref> Bahrain security forces (a force that includes foreign national forces) arrested Sami Mushaima in March 2014 and held him [[Solitary confinement|incommunicado]] for at least 11 days. Security officials subjected Mushaima to [[Strike (attack)|beatings]], [[electrocution]], and [[sexual assault]]. His [[front teeth]] were severely damaged. Mushaima's family believes he was [[coerced]] into falsely confessing through the use of torture.<ref name="adhrd" /> Sami Mushaima, Ali Al-Singace, and Abbas Al-Samea are all [[victim blaming|torture victims]] rendered stateless and condemned to death following unfair trials. Their executions have sparked widespread protests across the country.<ref name="adhrd" /> Maya Foa, a director of the international human rights group [[Reprieve (organisation)|Reprieve]], said: {{blockquote|It is nothing short of an outrage β and a disgraceful breach of international law β that Bahrain has gone ahead with these executions. The death sentences handed to Ali, Sami and Abbas were based on confessions extracted through torture, and the trial an utter sham. ... It would be shameful if the UK continued to support Bahrain's security apparatus and Ministry of Interior in the face of such terrible abuses.<ref>{{cite web|title=Press Release: Bahrain Executes Three Men|url=http://interviews.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/25872/press-release_bahrain-executes-three-men|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116160858/http://interviews.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/25872/press-release_bahrain-executes-three-men|archive-date=16 January 2017}}</ref>}} The [[European Union]] also condemned the sentences: "This case is a serious drawback given that Bahrain had suspended executions for ...
