A special court in Bahrain sentenced 35 people to terms ranging from 15 years to life in prison in three cases related to anti-government unrest earlier this year, including the murder of a Pakistani national.

Thirteen “outlaws” were given life sentences today for killing the Pakistani after assaulting him outside his home with wooden planks and metal bars, and for attacking another man, state-run Bahrain News Agency said.
