Bahraini activist Zainab al-Khawaja has been jailed for two months after she was found guilty of insulting the police.
Khawaja has already spent several months in prison and the latest sentence would mean she would be held until February next year.
Her father Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, a prominent human rights activist, is also in prison, serving a life-sentence for plotting to overthrow the Bharaini regime.
The island is ruled by a Sunni royal family, but the majority Shia population have been protesting and calling for reform, alleging discrimination by the state. The regime is accused by human rights organisation of committing grave human rights abuses, including detention of human rights activists.
