A 15-year-old Bahraini boy has stood trial for participating in anti-government demonstrations, as the Saudi-backed regime continues its brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters.
Anti-government protests against the rule of the Al Khalifa dynasty in Bahrain began in mid-February.
According to rights activists, Yousif al-Basri, who was reportedly tortured in prison, is scheduled to appear before tribunal on Sunday.
Earlier on Saturday, lawyers from Lebanon, Spain, France and Italy accused Britain of selling arms, including sniper rifles, to the Manama regime and training Bahraini police forces, who use heavy-handed tactics against anti-government protesters in the Persian Gulf sheikdom.

Since then, Manama has unleashed a massive crackdown on anti-government protesters.
In mid-March, Saudi Arabia -- backed by both the US and the UK -- deployed troops in Bahrain at Manama's request to help crush the nationwide anti-government protests there.
Scores of people have been killed and many more arrested and tortured in prisons in the Saudi-backed crackdown on protests in Bahrain.
