A prominent Bahraini opposition leader has been freed on bail after appearing in court on charges of inciting violence.
The court says the case of Khalil al-Marzooq, a top member of the main Shia political bloc al-Wefaq will be reviewed in mid December. Marzooq has rejected charges that he encouraged anti-regime attacks in the tiny Persian Gulf country. The arrest of Marzooq had prompted the Shia-led opposition to suspend political talks with the regime. The opposition now says it will continue to boycott the talks, until its demands are fully met.

Targeting of activists, who demand freedom and change, continues by the authorities in Bahrain. Scores of people remaining in prison or detained for opposing the government, including prisoners of conscience and people sentenced after unfair trials.
Human rights defenders and other activists harassed and imprisoned. And people dying from inhaling teargas fired by Saudi-backed regime forces.
In a fresh sign of its unrelenting crackdown, Bahrain\\\'s regime forces attack the funeral procession of a 31-year old man, Omran al-Seyed, who died after inhaling tear gas in the village of Karzakan. Regime forces tried to disperse mourners by firing tear gas and stun grenades.
Bahrainis have been protesting against the Al Khalifah regime for over two years now. Manama has responded with an iron fist. Scores have been killed and many injured or arrested during the crackdown. The U.S. and its allies have turned a blind eye to the atrocity which has been facilitated by Saudi Arabia\\\'s intervention in Bahrain.
In this edition of the Debate, we\\\'ll discuss Bahrain, including new developments, such as UK\\\'s arms sale, and why the international bodies and countries who promote democracy have failed to do anything about the cries coming from this tiny Persian Gulf Kingdom.

An Egyptian court has sentenced 26 people to death for plotting attacks on ships in the Suez Canal.
The men, who were tried in their absence, were charged while in custody. The court accuses the defendents of founding and leading a terrorist cell, which wanted to disrupt the major shipping route. It also referred the verdict to the Grand Mufti of Cairo, who now has to validate the sentences. The recent spate of violence has rocked Egypt, after former president Mohamed Morsi was ousted by the military in July, and placed under arrest. The latest ruling comes as another court in the country sentenced over 2-hundred Morsi supporters to prison over a variety of charges on Tuesday.

The crackdown on dissent continues in Bahrain where a court has sentenced 13 people to jail for allegedly trying to kill policemen. Twelve of these Bahrainis received a 10-year jail term. Another person was given a three- year sentence. They had all taken part in an anti-regime demonstration.
In a separate case at another court in the Bahraini capital Manama, a policeman was acquitted of attempting to murder a protester because of what was called insufficient proof. The legal proceedings against protesters have been described as show trials by rights activists. The Bahraini regime has harshly cracked down on pro-democracy demonstrations which began in the Persian Gulf kingdom in early 2011.

Lawyers for Egypt\\\'s ousted president Mohamed Morsi say they have been denied access to his prison cell in Alexandria. Morsi is set to appear again in court in 48 hours.
The interior ministry said in a statement that Morsi would not be allowed to receive any visit from January the second for a period of one month. His family says the move infringes on basic human rights. Egypt\\\'s anti-coup alliance has expressed fear over the safety of the country\\\'s first democratically-elected president, who was ousted in a military-backed coup. Morsi is to stand trial on Wednesday before a Cairo court over his alleged role in the killing of protesters in December 2012. His other charges include espionage and orchestrating prison breaks. Morsi\\\'s supporters have planned a mass rally for Wednesday.
