Bahrain jails 138, strips them of nationality on terror charges
A Bahraini court has sentenced 138 people to between three-year and life jail terms and revoked their citizenship for terror-related charges, the public prosecutor says.
The defendants were convicted of establishing a terror cell with links to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Ahmad al-Hammadi says in a statement.
A judicial source says all the defendants are members of the Shiite community in the Sunni-ruled Gulf state.
