(Reuters) - A Bahraini court has ordered a retrial for jailed hunger striker Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and 20 other men convicted in a military court of leading last year's pro-democracy uprising, but ruled they would remain in jail until new verdicts are reached.
The Sunni Muslim monarchy crushed mass protests led by Bahrain's Shi'ite majority with Saudi military help a year ago. But Shi'ite unrest has resurged of late, challenging rulers who host the U.S. Fifth Fleet as a strategic bulwark against Iran.
