Bahrain arrests pro-Qatar lawyer, sympathizer

‘Bahrain has arrested a citizen who expressed sympathy for Qatar over sanctions imposed on the country by its Arab neighbors while a lawyer, who challenged the blockade, was also sent behind bars.
The attorney general Ahmed al-Hammadi said Wednesday that the public prosecutor’s office received a case from the department of cyber crime in which “a person of interest had posted comments to social networks that constitute a violation” of a ban against sympathizing with boycott-hit Qatar.
