A Bahrain-i court has sentenced another young Shia man, Mahdi Zuhair, to six months in prison as part of the ongoing crackdown on Bahrain’s Shia community and its religious practices.
Mahdi Zuhair was reportedly arrested last month and sentenced to prison for reciting Ziyarat Ashura, a devotional prayer dedicated to Imam Hussain (AS), one of the most revered figures in Shia Islam.
