Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini authorities arrested the father of martyr Sayed Hashim, Haj Ali Hammam, Abdullah Al-Muallem and Ibrahim Hilal on Tuesday (February 5, 2019) from the courtroom to serve a prison sentence between six months and one year.

The appeals court adjourned the case until February 18.
