Bahraini opposition leader banned from traveling

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Bahrain’s National Democratic Action Society – Wa’ad reported that its former Secretary-General Radhi Al-Mousawi was prevented from leaving the country on Sunday.

The opposition figure was previously banned from traveling in April of last year following allegations by Bahrain’s Public Prosecutor that he took part in ‘illegal protests’ in Diraz.

In recent months Manama imposed the travel ban on dozens of human rights defenders, political activists, lawyers and journalists.

Critics of the regime argue that the practice is part of Manama’s efforts to prevent activists from attending international rights forums and exposing abuses in the Persian Gulf kingdom.
