On Thursday, Bahraini judiciary officials sentenced two defendants to life in prison after finding them guilty of “unlawful gathering and targeting a police patrol car with an explosive device in the village of Nuwaidrat.”
Separately, four defendants were sentenced to three years in jail each over political activities against the governing Al Khalifah regime.
