The Bahrain News Agency says in a report Sunday that the Supreme Judicial Council has declined to hand over Abdulhadi al-Khawaja to Danish custody because the law prevents transfers of "accused and convicted persons to foreign countries."
Al-Khawaja, who is a Danish citizen, and seven other opposition leaders were sentenced to life in prison in June for their role in anti-discrimination protests.
The ruling Al Khalifa regime has detained thousands since popular rallies began last February, demanding the regime’s ouster. Scores have been killed in Saudi-backed crackdown on the anti-discrimination demonstrations.
