About 65% of those released were convicted on charges related to riots, a government spokesperson told Reuters. The Gulf state has imprisoned thousands of protesters, journalists and activists - some in mass trials - since 2011. It says it prosecutes those who commit crimes in accordance with international law, and rejects criticism from the United Nations and others over the conduct of trials and detention conditions.
