Fourth person dies in police custody in Bahrain...


A fourth person has died in police custody and his body shows signs of torture, Bahraini human rights groups alleged.

Businessman Karim Fakhrawi, a member of the opposition movement Wefaq, was arrested last week and pronounced dead Tuesday. The party released a statement on its Facebook page claiming Fakhrawi to be the fourth of its supporters to die in custody.

News of his death follows a violent government crackdown against the popular protest movement that rocked the country earlier this year. More...
