On 16 November 2009, the Court of Cassation in Bahrain upheld the death penalty against Jassim Abdulmanan, a male Bangladeshi national. The execution is now pending ratification by the King, His Majesty Shaikh Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa. If the King ratifies the death sentence, Jassim Abdulmanan could be executed within weeks.
