Although he was granted bill, prominent Bahraini activist Nabeel Rajab remained in jail of Al-Khalifa regime.

"The judge agreed to the request to free him on $800 bail with a travel ban, but he has not been released because he is being detained on another charge," said Rajab’s lawyer, Mohamed al-Jishi.
Bail was granted in the case of "insulting an official authority" which centers on four messages posted on the social media site Twitter that suggested the interior ministry had not carried out proper investigations into civilian deaths.

However, the second charge against Rajab, of organizing illegal demonstrations, could land the activist in jail for two years, al-Jishi said last week.

Witnesses and the prosecution said that the new hearing for Rajab, will convene on Tuesday, the AFP news agency reported.
Rajab, the head of Bahrain Center for Human Rights, was arrested earlier this month on his on arrival at Manama airport from Lebanon.

Rajab led many protests that were part of the ongoing uprising against the Bahraini regime. Dozens of protesters have been killed since the revolution was launched last year in February. Hundreds others were injured during protests, as well as thousands of workers have been fired.
