Bahrain Orders Retrial for 21 Activists 
----------------------------------------


 
A Bahraini court has ordered a retrial for 21 opposition activists
jailed during the crackdown on protests against the U.S.-backed monarchy
last year. The prisoners include Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, who is on the 82nd
day of a hunger strike protesting his life imprisonment.
