Iraq Cleric urges release of Bahrainis

Iraq's influential cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has called on Bahrain to release two anti-government protesters that have been sentenced to death over allegations of killing of Bahraini policemen.

"I ask the government of Bahrain to grant an amnesty for the two young people sentenced to death for participating in peaceful demonstrations," AFP quoted al-Sadr on Tuesday.
On May 22, a military court upheld the death sentences for Ali Abdullah Hasan al-Singace and Abdul Aziz Abdullah Ibrahim Hussein, two anti-government protesters, for their purported involvement in the killing of two police officers during peaceful anti-regime protests in the tiny Persian Gulf sheikhdom
