Bahrain Mirror: The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the US Congress urged Bahraini authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Bahraini human rights activist Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja.

"Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja is a prisoner of conscience," the Commission said in a tweet on its Twitter page.

The former president and co-founder of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR), Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, was sentenced to life imprisonment in June 2011 by a military court with a group of human rights defenders and opposition figures.
