Bahrain court upholds life sentences on opposition

Bahrain‘s main Shiite political group, Al Wefaq, claimed the courts are used a “tool to punish the opposition” and suggests that authorities are not serious about offers for a political dialogue to ease the tensions.

“It seemed there is no solution for the Bahraini crisis,” said a statement by the group, “because there is no serious desire to solve this crisis.”
