Bahrain Mirror: The cassation court upheld on Monday (May 6, 2019) a 10-year jail term against Amal society leader.
Deputy head of the European-Bahraini Organization for Human Rights (EBOHR) Fatima Al-Halwachi, daughter of Khalil Al-Halwachi, said "the cassation court rejected the submitted appeals and upheld a 10-year jail term against my father. Thus, the verdict is considered final."
The authorities accused Al-Halwachi of acquiring arms, however, he denied this charge. His daughter has earlier said in a letter to the President of the European Parliament that the Bahraini authorities fabricated the charge against her father.
