Bahrain Mirror: The Second High Criminal (Appeals) Court, presided over by judge Ibrahim Al-Zayed with the memberships of judges Wajih Al-Shaer and Ayman Mahran and Youssef Bou Hardan as secretariat, set May 23, 2016 as a date for issuing a verdict, concerning the expulsion of lawyer Taymour Karimi after his citizenship was revoked alongside 30 other Bahrainis.

During the hearing, lawyer Taymour Karimi appeared in court with lawyer Mohammad Madan. Meanwhile, the prosecutor requested delaying the session to bring evidence that proves the revocation of Karimi's citizenship.
