Bahraini activist's appeal verdict expected on Tuesday

Bahraini scholar and activist Khalil Al-Halwachi is expecting a final verdict in his appeal against a 10-year prison sentence on Tuesday.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahraini scholar and activist Khalil Al-Halwachi is expecting a final verdict in his appeal against a 10-year prison sentence on Tuesday.

The planned session was scheduled during a court hearing back in October.

Last year on December 25, Manama’s military court sentenced a group of civilians to death.

That verdict led activists to accuse Bahraini authorizes of attempting to minimize the level of condemnation by announcing the ruling on the day that official institutions in the West are closed for the Christmas holiday.

Al-Halwachi received his 10-year sentence after being found guilty on weapons possession charges in a trial marred by torture and due process violations.
