Manama: A death row inmate convicted of mowing down a policeman during the unrest in 2011 will now spend life behind bars after having the initial ruling overturned.
Bahrain’s highest court – the Cassation Court – in April last year ordered the retrial of a murder case in which 24-year-old Ali Yousif Abdulwahab Al Taweel was sentenced to death by the National Safety Court in September 2011 for killing policeman Ahmed Rashid Ahmed Al Muraisi .
