Autopsy finds torture behind Bahrain drowning
Report exclusively obtained by Al Jazeera says 23-year-old had been electrically tortured before drowning in January.
On most mornings Yousef Mowali would leave his home near Bahrain's
international airport to go for a stroll. The 23-year-old had been
diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years earlier and liked walking, both for exercising and relaxing.
On January 11, Mowali left for his morning walk and never returned.
Police said they found Mowali's body floating in the water on January
13 in the Amwaj area, not far from his family's home in Muharraq. A
state doctor reported the cause of death as drowning and ruled out signs
of violence.
However, Al Jazeera has exclusively obtained a report from a second
autopsy performed by an independent forensic pathologist that concludes
Mowali was electrically tortured and unconscious when he drowned.
