Back in January, the Saudi Arabia Court of Appeal ratified the death sentence of 2 Bahraini young men, Jaafar Sultan and Sadiq Thamer.

After Riyadh's decision, demonstrations took place in Dar Kulaib, a Bahraini village, rejecting "Saudi's unjust execution against the people of the village." 

Sultan and Thamer denied the charges against them and considered them politically motivated, knowing that human rights organizations have documented that they were tortured by Saudi security forces to extract confessions during their arrest.

In June 2021, Saudi Arabian authorities executed Mustafa Al-Darwish while he was handcuffed, and then they disposed of his body in an undisclosed location for "crimes" he committed as a minor, which include "participating in armed rebellion," and "sowing discord".

The Saudi authorities prevented the media from publishing "condolence groups" links for the martyr Mustafa Al-Darwish, a resident of Tarout Island, Qatif.

The martyr was arrested as a minor because he participated in some of the popular movement activities in Qatif in 2015.
