The head of Bahrain’s main opposition group was charged on Sunday with insulting authorities through an exhibition that showed alleged abuses against anti-government protesters, a lawyer said.
The charges against Ali Salman, the head of the Shiite bloc Al Wefaq, came just hours after a court sentenced four suspects to life in prison for alleged ties to militant factions and acting as spies for Iran.
It is unclear whether Salman will face trial. Prosecutors have the option of not bringing the case to court.
Al Wefaq’s lawyer Hadi Al Musawi said Salman was not jailed after being charged and was allowed to return home following questioning.
Earlier on Sunday, a criminal court issued life sentences against four activists and 15-year prison terms against six others who were charged with links to Iranian intelligence agencies and plotting attacks in Bahrain, lawyer Zainab Zwayed said. Fourteen defendants were cleared.
