Bahrain executed on Saturday two men convicted in two separate cases, one involving the killing of a police officer and the other the killing of a mosque imam, the public prosecutor said in a statement.
Rights groups identified two of the men as Shia activists Ali al Arab and Ahmed al Malali, who were sentenced to death last year in a mass trial along with another 56 men convicted and given jail terms on "terrorism crimes."
