Bahrain continues to jail its human rights defenders

But Critics have scoffed at the assertion, pointing to the jailing of Nabeel Rajab. A Bahraini court has upheld the human rights activist's two-year jail sentence for criticizing the government during television interviews. A ruling on a similar charge next month could add another 15 years to his sentence. Vanessa Conneely reports.
