Bahrain Continues Crackdown, Sentences Zainab Al-Khawaja to Prison

Mar 4 2013 - 4:52pm

Freedom House condemns the decision by a Bahraini court to reject the appeals for human rights activist Zainab Al-Khawaja, sentencing her to three months in prison. The court’s decision reflects the regime’s continued persecution of those who have peacefully opposed its repressive rule and further demonstrates its utter failure to engage in meaningful reform.
