Bahrain: Regime's court upholds jail term against female activist

A Bahraini court has upheld a one-year jail sentence against a female anti-regime activist and confirmed revocation of her citizenship.

The Bahrain Supreme Criminal Court issued the ruling against Zainab Makki on Tuesday, Arabic-language Manama Post online newspaper reported.

Bahrain’s Fourth High Criminal Court sentenced Makki to one year in jail on November 29, and stripped her of Bahraini citizenship.

Her husband was also sentenced to seven years behind bars in the same case and his citizenship was revoked as well.

Zainab is the second female Bahraini political dissident to be stripped of her citizenship.

Bahraini regime officials revoked Maryam Sayyed Ibrahim Hussein Reza’s citizenship in 2012.
