16BAHRAIN-jumboIt was confirmed earlier today (15 January) that the Kingdom of Bahrain carried out the execution of three people convicted for a bomb attack against the police which killed three policemen.  

The EU reiterates its strong opposition to the use of the death penalty in all circumstances. This case is a serious drawback given that Bahrain had suspended executions for the past seven years, and concerns have been expressed about possible violations of the right to a fair process for the three convicted.

The EU rejects violence as a political tool and fully supports the stability and development of the Kingdom of Bahrain, but believes this can only be achieved through a sustainable and inclusive national reconciliation process.
