Member of the European-Bahraini Organization for Human Rights (EBOHR), Fatima Al-Halwachi, said that a Bahraini court sentenced her detained father and member of Amal Society Khalil Al-Halwachi to one month in prison over charges of insulting a police officer, against whom Dry Dock prisoners have raised complaints.

The Second High Criminal (Appeals) Court set May 23, 2016 as a date for issuing a verdict, concerning the expulsion of lawyer Taymour Karimi after his citizenship was revoked alongside 30 other Bahrainis.

The Bahraini authorities released on Monday (April 18, 2016) photographer Ahmed Al-Fardan after serving a 3-month jail term over taking part in an assembly.
