Bahrain Mirror: Member of Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) Activist Hussein Radhi said on Tuesday (August 23, 2016) that Bahraini security authorities didn't allow him to leave the country, based on an order issued by the Criminal Investigations Directorate.

The authorities had also prevented two human rights defenders, BCHR's Inas Oun and lawyer Mohammad Al-Tajer, from leaving the island kingdom in the past couple of days.

Bahraini authorities have intensified their targeting of human rights activists and Shiite clerics, in the most widespread and harshest campaign launched against the opposition since the pro-democracy protests were crushed in March 2011.
