Bahrain spy agency officer is sentenced to life over in-custody death

A Bahraini National Intelligence Service officer was sentenced to life in prison for the in-custody death of 32-year-old Shiite Muslim Mohamed al-Mousawi, whose injuries were consistent with torture. The case occurred amid protests linked to the Iran war, with the government accusing Shiite protesters of being Iranian proxies, while rights groups criticized the arrest campaign and demanded transparency.
