MANAMA (Reuters) - A Bahraini court sentenced a young Shi'ite poet to one year in prison on Sunday for taking part in illegal protests and incitement against the Gulf state's monarchy.

Ayat al-Qurmouzi, 20, was arrested after she recited a poem mocking the Bahraini king and demanding he step down, during protests led by the country's Shi'ite majority that gripped the kingdom in February and March.

A relative confirmed her sentence, saying Qurmouzi's family had feared for her safety in detention.

Bahrain, a U.S. ally that hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, called in troops from its fellow Sunni-ledGulf neighbour Saudi Arabia to help it crush the pro-democracy protests in March.

Qurmouzi is one of about 400 people, most of them Shi'ites, who the Shi'ite opposition party Wefaq says have been put on trial for their roles in the protests.

Hope, soon this Bahraini Autocratic establishment is replaced with a Democratic Republic!
