| [Iran Press TV] Ahmad al-Arab will be 147 years old after serving his jail term handed down by a Bahraini court. The High Criminal Court in the capital Manama on Tuesday sentenced the 17-year-old to an additional 10 years in prison on charges of protesting against the ruling Al Khalifah royal family and charges of alleged terror acts, Arabic-language Manama Post online newspaper reported. The court also ruled that Arab, who was incarcerated Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! on April 13 last year, will no longer be a Bahraini national at the end of his prison term. The Tuesday ruling is the latest in a series of harsh punishments handed down to dissidents in Bahrain, a tiny Persian Gulf island nation that has seen years of anti-regime protests. |
