Prominent Bahraini rights activist Nabeel Rajab was freed from jail Tuesday after being sentenced to five years imprisonment for tweeting criticism of the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, his lawyer said. "Nabeel has been released and he is on his way home now," Mohammed Al-Jishi told AFP, adding that the remaining three years of the sentence would be served in an "alternative" or non-custodial setting. bur-sls/par
