A Bahraini court on Thursday (June 15th) issued sentences of up to life in prison for 26 members of a “terrorist group” over the attempted murder of policemen, AFP reported.
Twenty of the defendants were jailed for life while the rest were each handed 15-year prison terms, a judicial source said.
They were found guilty of forming a "terrorist group" between 2011 and 2013 and attempting to kill policemen in the village of Diraz, west of Manama.
Police last month opened fire to disperse a months-long sit-in in Diraz, killing five people in the crackdown.
