Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini Ministry of Interior said that "as part of the process of following what is being posted on social media that may harm national unity, a person has been arrested for insulting a religious group by circulating a voice recording on social media that degrades one of the respected religious sects in Bahrain."
"The necessary legal measures are being taken to refer the case to the Public Prosecutor," the ministry added.
The voice recording of the actor Mansour Sankimah has been circulated on social media. It includes harsh criticism against the Sunni sect and regime in Bahrain for their not so resolute dealing with the Sitra bomb blast that left two policemen dead since they are "Pakistanis and do not belong to one of the tribes," according to Sankimah.
