Bahrain opposition leader cleared of terrorism charges: Lawyer
The court had acquitted Marzouq on charges of inciting terrorism in a number of speeches and had removed a travel ban on him.
A senior member of Bahrain opposition was cleared of terrorism charges on Wednesday, one of his defence lawyers said, a move that could help troubled talks with the government to end months of sporadic unrest.
Khalil Al Marzouq, deputy leader of the Al Wefaq party, was one of a number of opposition figures and activists detained since majority party began protests in 2011 to demand political reform and a greater role in running the country.
Defence lawyer Galila Al Sayed said a court had acquitted Marzouq on charges of inciting terrorism in a number of speeches and had removed a travel ban on him.
Al Wefaq, which says it advocates non-violent activism, boycotted reconciliation talks with the government after Marzouq’s arrest in September.
Bahrain passed strict laws against what it called acts of terrorism in 2013, setting tougher penalties including longer prison terms and the stripping of Bahraini nationality.
