<p>We are aware of the case of Mohammad Al-Tajer. We understand he spent four months
in detention in 2011 before his case was moved from the National State Safety Court
to the civilian courts, as recommended by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry,
where he was sentenced to one month in prison. We understand that he appealed the
verdict and was acquitted by the High Appeal Civilian court. We continue to encourage
the Government of Bahrain to meet all of its human rights obligations, and adhere
to international standards.</p>
