(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - While Bahraini prosecutors claimed on Monday that the ruling was made over the group's failure to provide the justice ministry with reports on its annual budget and promoting violence, it is widely believed that the Islamic Action Association was disbanded over its support for anti-government demonstrations in the country.
Bahraini opposition parties, including al-Wefaq, have slammed the court's ruling, saying it violates the constitution and law.
Bahrain's justice ministry filed a lawsuit to dissolve the group in June and the group's leader Mohammed Ali Mahfuz and several of its leading members were sentenced to long prison terms along other opposition figures for "plotting to overthrow the regime".
