Bahrain Court Adjourns Trial of Protest Activists

THE SACRAMENTO BEE: MANAMA, Bahrain -- Bahrain's special security court has adjourned the trial of 21 opposition leaders and political activists, mostly Shiites, accused of plotting against the state.

The suspects - 14 in custody and the others charged in absentia - are accused of attempting to overthrow the 200-year-old Sunni dynasty and having links to "a terrorist organization abroad." » | The Associated Press | Monday, May 16, 2011
