Prosecution Releases Activist Ahmad al-Saffar after Charging Him With "Assembly"
2016-11-14 - 8:57 p
Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain Center for Human Rights member, activist Ahmad al-Saffar, said that the Public Prosecution interrogated him (Monday November 14, 2016), and then ordered his release.
On his "Twitter" account, al-Saffar clarified that the interrogation was based on charges accusing him of taking part in "illegal" assembly; a charge the authorities have recently been addressing at dozens of citizens in the country.
The Bahraini authorities have launched last June the worst campaign since the Saudi and Emirati forces entered the country to crush democracy-demanding protests in March 2011.
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights said that summoning activists by the Prosecution, and convicting them with charges, is a means to "justify" the travel ban imposed on them; a measure that received harsh criticism from the United Nations and Washington.
