Bahrain dissidents face possible Christmas Day death sentences.
Ramadhan, an airport security officer, and Moosa, a hotel employee, had both taken part in pro-democracy demonstrations, Reprieve said.
“My death sentence has been set for Christmas Day -- so that you won’t notice,” Ramadhan said in an opinion piece, expecting capital punishment due to an apparent attempt to bury controversial news on Christmas day.“On a day when billions will be surrounded by loved ones celebrating the birth of Jesus, I will be facing the death penalty,” he said. “I have committed no crime, so the Kingdom of Bahrain has invented some and tortured me into 'confessing' to them.
Britain is also a key ally to Bahrain, and has come under pressure to stop selling the kingdom arms and training its security services as allegations of torture during detention have mounted.
