Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini security authorities released (Thursday April 20, 2017) Imam of Al-Kheif mosque Sheikh Isa Al-Moamen in the town of al-Dair, after the 3-month prison verdict issued against him was appealed in court.
Bahraini security authorities had arrested (Monday April 19, 2017) Sheikh Isa after he was summoned for the implementation of a 3-month prison verdict issued against him over a Friday sermon he delivered in Al-Kheif Mosque on August 2, 2016.
Sheikh Al-Moamen has another 3-month prison verdict over another Friday Sermon, yet the appeals court has not yet issued its decision in this regards.
The security authorities arrested Sheikh Al-Moemen on August 6, 2016 and referred him to trial while in custody. The court; however, decided on September 28, 2016 that he can be released on 500 BD bail, pending trial.
The Bahraini authorities have launched a vast campaign against Shiite clerics, summoned and arrested dozens of them, since the citizenship revocation of the Shiite majority spiritual leader, Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim on June 20, 2016.
