Bahrain jails 50 activists to 430 years in total over 'links to militant group' — RT News: Twenty suspects were convicted in absentia, said Mohamed al-Maskati, head of the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights. A judicial source said 16 defendants were handed 15-year terms, while four others were jailed for 10 years and the other 30 were sentenced to five years.
The defendants, including Iraqi cleric Hadi al-Mudaressi, were charged with forming the February 14 Revolution Youth Coalition, which Bahraini authorities accuse of terrorism.
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights told Reuters that human rights campaigners were among those convicted "under the internationally criticized and vague terrorism law", with combined sentencing of 430 years behind bars.
