Bahrain's justice ministry took steps on Monday to dissolve a major opposition group it accuses of supporting terrorism, state news agency BNA reported, filing a lawsuit the group said was an attempt by the government to stamp out dissent.

Wa'ad Society said that its outgoing Secretary General Radhi Al-Musawi received a summons to appear before Public Prosecution on Sunday.

The local Bahraini opposition group, the Democratic National Action Society (Wa'ad), said that the Bahraini authorities concluded its interrogation with its secretary-general Radhi Al-Musawi and released him on Thursday (March 31, 2016).
