2011 Detention by the Bahraini authorities

According to informal unreferenced reports, as of June A'ala Hubail was still in detention, had been treated in a Bahraini military hospital, possibly after torture, possibly for an injury to his foot. He may have appeared in court and been sentenced to a prison term:

• 5-April-2011: Arrested while training in Al-Ahli football club along with his brother Mohammed Hubail and Ali Sa'eed.
• 7-April-2011: Al-Ahli administration takes a decision to permanently stop him and his brother Mohammed from playing.
• 10-April-2011: News about him being treated in Bahrain defense forces hospital (ref = http://ar.azadnegar.com/article/%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%AD%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%84-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B4%D9%81%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B3%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%89)
• Rumors about him being in military court and judged to 4 years jail.

Any more concrete referenced information should be used to update the article. Opbeith (talk) 15:51, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

"ahmed77" comments in response to Tahiyya Lulu

According to the Sunni commenter "ahmed77" responding to the Guardian article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/apr/22/bahrain-counter-revolution-televised-athletes, on 22 April 2011, he watched Bahrain TV on April 4 and saw Ala'a Hubail speak from an "out location" of Bahrain, which Hubail did not want to name at the time. "ahmed77" claimed that because the Hubail brothers and others a few days earlier had refused to play for the Bahrain football team in Dubai for the Gulf Tournament, Bahrain had to pull out. He claimed Hubail had said they were forced to withdraw because of a telephone call from Bahrain, from a person he refused to name, telling them to pull out in support of the demonstration against the Government. He claimed that the brothers had to go to prison because both are employees of the Interior Ministry and receiving good monthly salaries from the Government. Under their contract of employment anyone who "does things against the establishment" will face the Military Court because they had also taken part in the Athletes Protest march calling for the downfall of the Government. He alleged that this was the law all over the world, not just in Bahrain.

"ahmed77" maintained that the only athletes who participated in the Protest March who were imprisoned were employees of the Bahrain defense force or Ministry of the Interiors. "Otherwise they would only be dismissed from the national team and maybe from their job if in one is related to the government." Many top bodybuilders and top athletes were employees of the Government Defense Force or Interior with good monthly salaries and other privileges including free government housing. Nothing had happened to athletes who simply observed demonstrations without fully participating but those who went openly to a demonstration and joined the Athletes March for the downfall of the government, would be dismissed and employed by the Ministry of the Interior or the Defense force would have to face the Military Court as well, as "ahmed77" apparently believes would apply all over the world.
