DUBAI (AFP) – A Bahraini court on Thursday began the trial of a Bahraini Shiite woman arrested for insulting the Sunni ruling family through a poem she read out during a wave of anti-regime protests, activists told AFP.
Ayat al-Gormezi, aged 20, appeared before a military tribunal in Manama, said Nabil Rajab, a Shiite rights and opposition activist, who added that the trial was adjourned to June 6.
Gormezi was arrested in March during a month-long wave of Shiite-led protests that rocked the tiny Gulf monarchy before being crushed in mid-March.
