The Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy said early Monday that Ebtisam al-Sayegh had been freed after being detained since July 3.
Amnesty International has expressed concern that Al-Sayegh alleged she was tortured and sexually assaulted during a previous detention in May.
The institute said activists Radhi al-Qatari and Mohamed al-Shakhoori also had been released.
Bahrain's state-run media did not immediately report on the releases. The government did not respond to a request for comment.
Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, has been targeting journalists, political groups and activists in its crackdown, its worst since putting down its 2011 protests.
