(MENAFN) Five members of the same family, including three sisters, have been sentenced by the High Criminal Court in Bahrain to three years in jail in case they "cover up" for wanted person.
Activists said the first instance court had sentenced the sisters (Amal, Iman and Fatima Ali) as well as the husbands of two of them (Mohsen Al-A'li and Ali Al-Shagal) to three years in politically-motivated case on similar charges.
On a related note, a court sentenced another Bahraini national (Madina Ali) to three years' imprisonment, on charges of covering up for a wanted person as well.
The Bahraini regime court also issued death sentences against three civilians and sentenced several citizens to 15 years in jail after persecuting and forcing them to deliver false confessions.
