Kuwait opposition groups say one of their leaders, former parliament member Mussallam al-Barrack, has been sentenced to five years in prison on charges of insulting the emir during a political rally last year. The sentence against Al-Barrack could rekindle street protests that flared during disputes over parliamentary elections in December. Al-Barrack led a boycott movement to protest changes in voting rules ordered by the emir.  (AP Photo / Gustavo Ferrari, File)
