Bahrain Mirror: The third minor criminal court presided over by judge Jaber Al-Jazzar set October 6, 2016 as a date to look into the second case of the head of Ulama Islamic Council Sayyed Majeed Al-Mashaal related to charges of assembling, rioting, inciting hatred against the regime, and joining an unauthorized assembly in Diraz.
Al-Mashaal denied the charges brought against him that on June 20, 2016 he incited hatred against the regime, took part, along with other unknowns, in an assembly of more than 5 persons and participated in an illegal gathering.
The authorities arrested Al-Mashaal after besieging him house on Saturday (July 30, 2016). The prosecution charged him with inciting others to break the law.
Al-Mashaal is serving a two-year jail term over the sit-in held in front of the spiritual leader Sheikh Isa Qassim' house since June 20, protesting over the decision to revoke his citizenship.
