| [Iran Press TV] A Bahraini court has handed down jail terms between one and 15 years to four men allegedly convicted of using violence against police and possessing weapons, the state prosecutor's office says, in a latest case of Manama's crackdown on people. In a statement carried on Thursday by the state-run Bahrain News Agency, BNA, the prosecutor's office said one defendant was enjugged I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! for 15 years and another for five years, while two others were sentenced to one year imprisonment each. The four faced charges including "resisting police, possessing fire arms and ammunition for terrorist aims, attacking others and threatening to use fire arms," the statement said, adding that the case goes back to last March. Only last month, some 20 people were given jail terms in cases involving attacks on police and a bus, as well as a terrorist plot. Anti-regime protesters have been holding rallies across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling on the ruling family to relinquish power. |
