Bahrain Mirror: A Bahraini court ruled Thursday (February 9, 2017) the imprisonment of medical doctor, Taha Al-Dirazi, for 6 months, over participating in Diraz protest. He was also fined with 100 Bahraini Dinars for suspending the sentence.
Thousands of protesters continue in their sit-in for over 230 days outside the house of spiritual leader, Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, whose citizenship was revoked by authorities, for charges linked to performing the Shiite religious Khums ritual.
