and the international community looking for some answers the new details are also likely to add to growing calls that saudi arabia names and indicts those behind. killing paul chatterjee on al-jazeera. crane's high court has upheld the jail sentence of a prominent civil rights activist who spoke out against saudi arabia and on the same day a court in the u.a.e. held a sentence against an activist that. ahmed months who are in the united arab emirates and to be a raja in bahrain will now be spending years in prison for criticizing their government's policies on social media was a prominent opposition figure during behind's protest movement during the arab spring he's been in and out of prison for this activism and his tweets on monday the supreme court upheld a five year jail term for a tweet deemed offensive to the state wars bring hatred destruction and horrors he

tweeted as the saudi led coalition began bombing yemen in twenty fifteen the bahraini court agreed he disseminated what he calls false news in a time of war and defended the foreign country rights groups say the timing of the verdict is important. and. i mean the reason why they chose to have it during the holidays in the west where they are expecting the minimal. attention or the very near the peace advocate state that he won he wants to remain silent. decided to bomb the children in yemen he states that war will only bring misery i would never bring solutions for those that we may be needed. by the present amnesty international calls the verdict shameful one that exposes behinds justice system as

a complete farce it along with a coalition of human rights groups had also campaigned for the u.a.e. to release the activist ahmed monsoor but an appeals court in abu dhabi upheld a ten year jail sentence on monday months were two had spent time in prison in twenty eleven and accused of insulting the rulers by calling for democratic elections in the united arab emirates this time he was charged with publishing what the government considers false information on social media as well as calling for another activist to be released these latest rulings highlight the dangers and difficulties activists space in the gulf region and are schapelle al-jazeera protests as are out again in sudan they're calling for president omar al bashir to resign police have fired tear gas to try to disperse the crowds in the capital khartoum so far the president refusing to apologize for the sake of affairs in his country and his criticize these protests which started out against rising food and

fuel prices let's go live now to our cars from him all that she is there in khartoum how many people how many people are braving the wrath of the security forces. well martin when we were out on the streets of seeing hundreds and hundreds of people out marching and protesting they were saying that they were chanting things like down with the government that they want a new government and that there was they were basically saying that the protests were peaceful but despite saying that and despite it being peaceful we've seen police firing live ammunition in tear gas to try to disperse the crowd now this is not the first protest to happen in fact today's day thirteen of protest against the government it all started like you said with with protests and demonstrations against the rising prices of living and food commodities but then it quickly escalated and we've had people now out in the streets demonstrating saying that they want to topple the government they want to see a new regime despite the government promising that they are going to try to introduce new reforms to improve the economy so this has been going on and the

protesters have been saying that they will continue to protest until president obama and bashir steps down something he says he is not going to do and if as you say the security forces are firing live rounds that means inevitably that the death toll is going to rise already amnesty is reporting that at least thirty seven people have died in these protests. well yes thirty seven people have been killed as of monday last week but then the government is saying that one thousand people have died and that four hundred have been injured they're saying they're disputing the number given by amnesty and they're saying that amnesty has reported that from biased sources it's not clear how many people have died so far all we do know is that in today's protests live ammunition was fired that and that there were people who were injured it's not clear if it was fatal or not but we do know that the police did fire live ammunition in tear gas and they have been criticized by the u.n. and foreign governments for using what was described as excessive force because people have been injured and people have died in the protest and there are concerns human

rights groups are saying that more people would die of the protests continue of the government continues to use force yesterday we've heard president bush saying that it's ok that the police should use less force but that he seems to be at the same time praising the police and he's also speaking previously to the military so it's not clear if there are more lives lost today but then because live ammunition was used there are concerns that there will be more lives lost all right thank you have a move there live in khartoum. abounded issues prime minister sheikh hasina has promise any incidents of a tricking in sunday's election will be investigated she has won a full sermon office and according to local media alliance around two hundred eighty eight of these three hundred seats where they seem to place bots the opposition is rejecting the results claiming widespread regularities so far at least nineteen people a name to have been killed in election related this weekend good luck to our correspondent tom that choudhry who is in the bangladeshi capital dhaka time there

i understand that you've just come from a meeting with the victorious shake see what kind of strike is she sounding triumph victorious or she sounding can see that tree. well she sounded very unfriendly even conciliatory in tone. supposed to be a key fashion with international observers and foreign correspondents and press out here monitoring the election that eventually she was friendly and i have to take questions from some of the international observer as well as from some of the international press person present there she obviously sounds quite victoria thank them confident about our victory and she rejected any idea that there was any regaining or there was any kind of play in any of the centers of the she admitted that there might have been. isolated cases where replying to

a question from another foreign media that they have a video of. a particular. road been snatched in a polling center she said it's probably from a previous marriage election and then the particular journalist said no this is from this one she said well perhaps so but it is one one you incident could have happened and then she went to said that look if there is any allegation. definitely will look into it and the election commission will seriously look into this matter and investigate this matter on my second question of course i. thought it go ahead please no tell me i was just going to ask you i mean how she is explaining all defending what to many will seem like an incredible victory i mean winning two hundred eighty eight at the three hundred seats i mean this is beyond belief isn't it for most people how is she justifying that or explaining it yes

very well the quote.
