14 Bahraini activists are condemned to life in prison

A court in Bahrain sentenced 14 activists to life in prison in connection with an explosion that wounded four policemen last year.

 

 Since mid-February 2011, thousands of anti-regime protesters have held numerous demonstrations in the streets of Bahrain, calling for political reforms.

Scores of people have been killed and hundreds of others injured in the Manama regime’s ongoing crackdown on demonstrations.
