54. 据称，对所有五名被告都实施了酷刑和虐待，以逼他们招供，然后在审判中用来对付他们。据称，当局没有对关于酷刑的任何指控进行调查，受害者没有得到补救，也没有得到公平和充分的赔偿。来文方指出，巴林当局因此也违反了根据《禁止酷刑和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚公约》第十二、十三、十四和十五条及《公民及政治权利国际公约》第七和第十条所承担的义务。
54. All five defendants have allegedly been subjected to torture and ill-treatment in order to extract confessions that were then used against them in trial. None of the torture claims were reportedly investigated by the authorities and the victims did not obtain redress nor fair and adequate compensation. The source submits that the Bahraini authorities have consequently also violated their obligations under articles 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and under articles 7 and 10 of the Covenant.
