Court overturns Bahraini prince’s immunity from prosecution - FT.com:
"The High Court in London has quashed a decision by the director of public prosecutions that the son of the king of Bahrain enjoyed state immunity from prosecution over torture claims.
The case arose after the Bahraini citizen, known as FF, sought the arrest of Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad al-Khalifa after lodging allegations that he was involved in the torture of detained prisoners during the country’s pro-democracy uprising of 2011.
FF, who was granted asylum in the UK, was told by the DPP that the prince would be immune from prosecution in the UK because of his royal status, but FF sought to bring judicial review proceedings over the decision."
