AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahraini cleric Sheikh Mohammad Al-Rayash became the latest Shiite religious figure in the Persian Gulf kingdom to be thrown behind bars.
Sheikh Al-Riach was detained on Monday after being summoned for questioning by Bahraini security services. The reasons for his arrest remain unknown.
Last month’s annual Ashura commemorations were both preceded and followed by a wave of interrogations and arrests of Shiite clerics.
Most are believed to have been harassed over the content of their religious sermons.
Rights groups have repeatedly accused Manama of violating the religious freedoms of Bahrain’s Shiite majority.
