Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini security authorities released on Thursday (October 19, 2017) Shiite cleric Sheikh Abdulzahraa Al-Mobasher after two years of arrest over the charges of inciting hatred against the regime.
The authorities accused Al-Mobasher (37 years) of inciting to hold protests and insulting a person who is glorified in another sect (Muawiyah Bin Abi Sufyan), over the background of a sermon he delivered in Ashura in a mosque in Nuwaidirat.
