A Bahraini court has issued an order suspending the activities of the country’s main Shia opposition group on charges of “terrorism, extremism, and violence” in the kingdom.
The official Bahrain News Agency (BNA) said on Tuesday that the court was pending a verdict on dissolving the Al-Wefaq society altogether after documenting numerous violations under Bahraini laws.
Al-Wefaq was accused of creating “an environment for terrorism, extremism and violence as well as a call for foreign interference in internal national affairs,” BNA said.
