Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa has commuted death sentences, handed down to four Bahrainis by a military court on terrorism charges, to life in prison, state news agency BNA reported on Thursday.
BNA said the King reduced the sentences confirmed by a military appeals court the previous day.
The four convicts are Mubarak Adel Mubarak Mohanna, Fadhil Alsayed Abbas Hasan Radhi, Alsayed Alawi Hussain Alawi Hussain, and Mohammed Abdulhassan Ahmed Al Mitghawi, Chief of Military Judiciary Dr. Major-General Yousef Rashid Flaifel said.
In December, the military court sentenced six men to death after they were convicted on charges of forming a terrorist cell and plotting to assassinate a military official.
