Bahrain on Thursday acquitted nine medical professionals who were accused of involvement in unrest in the country but upheld convictions of another 11.
All 20 were convicted last year of attempting to overthrow the government and were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
Bahrain sliced the sentences of many whose convictions were upheld Thursday.
Of the 11 whose convictions stand, two are at large, five will be released on time served and the other four can appeal their sentences again, the Bahrain Information Affairs Authority announced.

What's to say but, ho-hum.
@ HIDE BEHIND, ho hum indeed, lol.
