| [PRESSTV] A court in Bahrain has sentenced 32 anti-regime activists to jail over their alleged role in an attack on a cop shoppe in the capital more than a year ago. The Fourth High Criminal Court handed down seven-year prison terms to 25 of the defendants, the Arabic-language Bahrain Mirror news website reported Wednesday. The seven other defendants received jail sentences of three years. According to the report, they were sentenced over their alleged role in an attack on Naim cop shoppe in the capital, Manama, back in December 2016. Thousands of anti-regime protesters have held demonstrations in Bahrain on an almost daily basis ever since a popular uprising began in the country in mid-February 2011. They are demanding that the Al Khalifah regime relinquish power and allow a just system representing all Bahrainis to be established. Manama has gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent. On March 14, 2011, troops from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the United Arab Emirates were deployed to assist Bahrain in its crackdown. |
