| 2013-09-16 |
[Al Ahram] A Bahraini court placed in durance vileMaw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on Sunday three Shia Musselmens for 10 years each after convicting them of attempting to kill coppers during anti-government protests, lawyers said. The trio, Jaafar Ali, Hussain Mansur and Mustafa Abdulkarim, had been charged of attempting to kill three coppers "with premeditation" on February 16, in the Shia village of Karzakan, southwest of Manama. The public prosecution had also accused the men of "possessing homemade shotguns, as well as employing violence against police, and participating in an unauthorised protest." They opened fire on police as security forces were dispersing a protest in the Shia village, the prosecution said. |
