The Bahraini regime court issued a 3-year-jail sentence against the Shia Human Rights activist Zainab Khawaja on charge of insulting the king.
The sentence also included a three-thousand-Dinar fine because khawaja ripped up the king's photo at the court in October.
Zainab al-Khawaja is the daughter of Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who is serving a life sentence in relation to his calls for political reform in Bahrain. Her mother, Khadija al-Mousawi, told Human Rights Watch that at the start of court proceedings on October 14 her daughter addressed the judge, stating that “It is my right, and my responsibility as a free person, to protest against oppression and oppressors."
