(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - 20 year-old poet Ayat al-Gormezi who had a one-year prison sentence unjustly imposed on her 12 June 2011 for reading a poem released this afternoon.
Ayat AlQormazi is now a national hero and an icon of the peoples revolution in Bahrain. Her powerful words will not be forgotten.
No crime deserves such debasing and inhumane treatment -- and certainly not the "crime" of reciting a poem, no matter how critical it is of the ruling government or its leader.
