Bahraini courts on Monday lengthened the prison term of the leader of the Shi’ite Muslim opposition to nine years reports Reuters.
Bahrain’s public prosecutor said that the sentence was extended from 4 years to 9 due to “crimes of promoting change to the political system by force.”
Sheikh Ali Salman was sentenced in June for four years in prison for inciting unrest in the Bahrain capital.
