    Mahdi Abu Dheeb, the founder and leader of the Bahrain Teachers Association who was arrested and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment before an “unfair” military court in 2011, has been released after five years.

Both teachers were a

    Bahraini Professor Masaud Mirza Jaffar Jahromi's Citizenship Revoked

    Endangered Scholars Worldwide is gravely concerned about a Bahraini court's decision, issued on May 14, 2015, to deport Masaud Mirza Jaffar Jahromi, who had his citizenship revoked on January 31, along with 70 other people.
