Bahrain Mirror: Abdullah Al-Shamlawi, one of the defence lawyers of Al-Wefaq leader, Sheikh Ali Salman, said that the court prevented "Sheikh Ali Salman from talking" and also prevented "his lawyers from delivering their plea".
Al-Shamlawi considered in a tweet on Wednesday, May 20, 2015, that what happened, "violates the right of defence and contradicts with the fair trial standards," as he expressed.
#Bahrain # UK منع سماحة الشيخ علي سلمان من الكلام ومنع محاميه من تقديم مرافعتهم اغتيال لحق الدفاع ومخالفة لمعيار المحاكمة المنصفه
