Bahraini court sentences religious speaker to three months in prison

The court of the Bahraini regime has sentenced religious speaker Sheikh Abdul Amir Mal Allah to prison for three months.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The court of the Bahraini regime has sentenced religious speaker Sheikh Abdul Amir Mal Allah to prison for three months.

The electronic website of the Bahrain's February 14 Revolutionary Youth Movement wrote: The courts of the Bahraini regime, by issuing a verdict, imprisoned the Hussaini preacher Hujjat al-Islam Sheikh Abdul Amir Mal Allah for three months in allegations made for one of his speeches during the Muharram month.

It is worth mentioning that Hujjat al-Islam Mal Allah was arrested about a month ago, during the arrest and summons of several Bahraini citizens during the commemoration of the first decade of Muharram month, which targeted dozens of preachers, scholars and elders, after being summoned for investigation.

Bahrain’s Shia community has long complained about discrimination and marginalization at the hands of the West-backed regime.

According to human rights organizations, Bahraini authorities have imposed heavy curbs on the religious freedom of the majority community since the outbreak of the popular uprising and nationwide protests in 2011.

Officials at Bahrain's notorious Jau prison have prevented inmates from commemorating the rituals of Muharram under the pretext of potential irregularities.

Imprisoned political dissident Hussein Hilal Ahmed said prison guards have informed detainees at Building 7 of the detention facility about the restrictive measures, and stated that they do not allow the inmates to hold mourning rituals during the lunar calendar month of Muharram.
