Bahrain Mirror: The council of Paris voted on granting prominent human rights defender Nabeel Rajab honorary citizen title for Paris and called for his release.

Paris mayor said that this title aims at shedding the light on Rajab's situation and that of every imprisoned or oppressed in the world due to authorities' lack of respect of freedom of expression.

Adam Rajab, Nabeel's son, said that Paris municipality has already granted this title to the famous African defender Nelson Mandela.
