From attending their trial and sentenced to death in absentia but the behind the embassy in washington compared it to Capital Punishment in the u. S. Adding the trials were conducted in accordance with the laws of the kingdom of bahrain which maintain International Standards at the session to execute these 2 young men came one day after the United States announced that they were going to start federal executions again which of course you know the baltics and all you know that the gulf states always feel like they need a green light to commit the violations that they commit from their allies in the us i was some see the executions as yet another crackdown on shias and the opposition by behind sunni led government since the 2011th hour of spring protests hundreds of people demanding political reform as well as human rights activists have been jailed silenced or forced to live abroad. And jazeera. Sam walton is a human rights activists who specializes in bahrain he says a trial is held in manama are not credible and fail to meet International Standards. There can be no. On the trains current judicial system which it would be generous to describe it as a Kangaroo Court but also weve seen. Credible reports of torture. Weve heard from the families of the men that one of them was shot during his arrest and those bullets were only removed 23 days later when they came to visit him. In prison he was in a wheelchair his toenails had all been removed he couldnt walk and he said he used electro shock buttons on him and beaten him severely and forced him to sign a confession so these trials are frankly the least credible trials i can think of this really is is par for the course in bahrain we saw 3 executions a couple of years ago in 2017 of a very similar pattern and were seeing these executions now a lot of that has been linked to in fact the the train embassy in the United States linked the executions explicitly to donald trump resuming executions in america and i think its very important to link the timing of these executions to the recess in the u. K. E. U. And u. S. Parliamentary bodies because bahrain does not want scrutiny of excess occasions so its good to talk about it on the media.

That im felicity bar and youre watching aljazeera live from london also coming up. Hong kong police fired tear gas and rubber bullets people marching to a train station where a mob attacked protesters 6 days ago. More than a 1000 people arrested in moscow as they rally against the banning of opposition candidates from local elections. And the desperate fight to stop jewish settlers taking over a Historic Hotel in the christian quarter of jerusalems old city. We begin in sudan where people are back on the streets protesting against the findings of an investigation into the brutal crackdown in khartoum last month that angry that the investigation blames the violence on rogue soldiers a Committee Says theyve been told to clear the area of the city and outside the Army Headquarters but move to break up the protest camp on their own initiative the head of the investor because Investigative Committee said 8. The 7 people were killed 168 injured in the crackdown the Health Ministry previously put the death toll at 61 well though activists say the number is actually much higher 17 of those killed on june the 3rd were in the square occupied by protesters in the capital khartoum 48. 00 of the wounded were hit by bullets fired by some of the Security Forces an order had also been issued to wit protests but he said the committee had not uncovered any incidents of rape despite reports from activists and rights organizations well here is some of what the head of that Investigative Committee had to say about the findings. One of the brigadiers was warned that hes not responsible for the operation yet he disobeyed orders and led the Rapid Support forces into the sitting area and handed down orders for them to get out of their Armored Vehicles and force the protesters out its also stablished that the riot forces led by one of the colonels he alone with his forces moved into the sitting area and some personnel started battling protesters firing indiscriminately into but the opposition is rejecting the findings of the invest investigation in a News Conference they accuse the military council of hiding the truth. I dont believe what happened today undermines the political process unless the military council looks for excuses to prisoner go see a sense or procrastinate the process what happened to days a natural response let the military council see this is a strong message that the people cannot remain silent as the Investigation Commission was formed not to establish the truth but to conceal the truth. Or morgan is following developments from neighboring ethiopia. The opposition as well as protesters on the streets have announced that they do not recognize the findings of the Investigation Committee that was set up by the Transitional Military Council there saying that they want an independent free and fair investigation and theyre saying that the military council is basically trying to bury the truth that they do not want to reveal who was behind the killings now lots of protestors have come out on social media and setbacks they have recordings and that has been released over the last few weeks and they say that the Rapid Support forces led by the deputy head of the Transitional Military Council was behind that act and that the Investigation Committee was trying to cover up for him and for the military council so protesters are saying that this investigation is not free and is not fair and that they want an independent one now whether they get an independent one largely depends on the Transition Military Council and the forces of freedom and change coalition specifically on the pressure that the schoolish unfolds on the Transition Military Council theyre expected to resume talks on forming a Transitional Government and will be discussing the constitutional declaration which they determine the roles of the various government bodies during the transition period but they have been demanding accountability since talks resume between them and the military joint so theyre the ones who are going to be able to decide if there should be an independent investigation or whether they will continue their talks with the Transition Military Council even with those findings and continue to try to form a Transitional Government despite protesters demanding a different investigation one that is independent free and fair. As a member of a Nonviolent Resistance Movement that helped organize those protests and he says the governments investigation has pushed protesters back into the streets. Its misleading its insulting and it made us really angry we were actually in the street because we were protesting for their release sidneys football player. Today and we were surprised his name safety and were surprised that the number of tear gas that the stewardess at they were hitting us really strong they were like why are they fighting us really hard and later on we discovered that they had this announcement that they knew was going to make us angry and they were scared that more people will come out of the street and right now a couple of people are burning tires and people are really angry because everybody has seen the videos everybody theres a lot of people who are there i was there i was beaten up i know it was beating us out it wasnt like 2 people masked and that is just that the stories theyre given that are just not believable and theyre saying nobody was brave theyre saying that. All the bodies that came out of the bodies that came out from that they were not part of the part of the action find that people and we identified them where part of the protest and who are in the city and so the story is really far fetched and there is a lot of evidence so we dont believe them.

Of mauritius had banned local election candidates from running because they said the candidates in question had not collected a sufficient number of genuine signatures in their support a charge rejected by the Opposition Movement who say the candidates are being unfairly excluded for. All that is being done is an attempt to intimidate and we need to show that they cannot intimidators with these methods. Protest also comes at a time of serious questions over president Vladimir Putins popularity discontent and anger over falling incomes under a rise in the National Pension age appear to have caused a slump in putins Approval Ratings that have been denied by the kremlin. But the opposition sees this latest crackdown as a struggle for its right to challenge what it says is a legislature loyal to the president and attempt to be seen heard and represent those who want to change in moscows political scene.
