A Bahrain court sentenced 14 Shiites to life in prison Wednesday over the death of a policeman in an anti-regime protest in the Gulf kingdom, a judicial source said. The 14 were found guilty of "premeditated murder", possessing petrol bombs and explosives and taking part in an unauthorised demonstration near the capital Manama, the source added. They were arrested during a protest on July 3 last year at Sitra, a Shiite district. The small Gulf state has been rocked since February 2011 by protests by the Shiite majority against the Sunni Muslim Al-Khalifa dynasty that rules Bahrain.
