Bahrain Commences Trial of Prominent Shia Clerics

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the ruling regime in Bahrain has begun the trial of a group of prominent Shia clerics, following the referral of their cases to the Supreme Criminal Court. This development was reported by Mehr News Agency, citing Al-Ahed news outlet.

Bahraini media sources indicated that these trials extend to include several clerics from outside Bahrain, in addition to those already imprisoned within the regime’s detention facilities. The proceedings are noted to have a sectarian nature that overshadows their judicial aspect, involving a group of Shia clergymen. The first session of the trial is scheduled to take place today, Sunday, at the Supreme Criminal Court.
