DUBAI (Reuters): Qatar rejects accusations of meddling in Bahrain’s internal affairs, Qatar’s foreign ministry said in a tweet.

“The State of Qatar condemns that its name was mentioned in Bahrain’s internal conflicts,” the ministry said.

A Bahraini court on Sunday ordered life sentences for three senior opposition members, overturning a previous acquittal on charges of spying for Qatar.
