Nabeel Rajab, president of Bahrain Center for Human Rights from Manama, was interviewed by Press TV on the recent death sentences handed down to three people on the charge of killing policemen in Bahrain.

Rajab says the judiciary system in Bahrain is not independent and it is dominated by the Al Khalifa regime.

Those people who were sentenced to death were not brought before court according to human rights standards or international standards for fair trial, Rajab argues.

He further says the Bahraini people will continue with their protests because there is no independent judiciary system in the country to seek justice when they face repression.
