Bahrain's main opposition party says one of the detained
national team players has been convicted of participating in anti-government
protests and sentenced to two years in prison. Al Wefaq party says in a
statement that Mohammed Hubail was convicted and sentenced on Thursday during
closed-door proceedings in Bahrain's special security court. The court was set up under
martial law imposed in March to quell Shiite-led demonstrations against a Sunni
monarchy. At least two of his teammates, including Hubail's brother and Bahrain soccer star Alaa, have been in custody since the
crackdown began.
