The two defendants appeared in court on Monday. One was sentenced to a month behind bars while the other was sentenced to four-months. They were found to have defamed King Hamad bin Isa Al-Thani.
A third defendant facing the same charges was sentenced to six months in jail last week.
The verdict against a fourth member of the group is expected later this month.
