Bahrain revokes nationality of over 410 dissidents: Rights group

‘A non-governmental rights group says Bahraini officials have revoked the citizenship of hundreds of people after convicting them of alleged terror charges as the ruling Al Khalifah regime continues with its heavy-handed crackdown on political dissent in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
