"Bahrain's Ministry of Interior announced on Monday that it had revoked the citizenship of 69 people, some of whom were related, after accusing them of sympathising with Iran and colluding with foreign entities."
"The London-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy described the move as dangerous and a clear violation of international law, emphasizing the lack of public identification of the individuals affected."
"Tehran began striking its Gulf neighbours on February 28, shortly after Israel and the United States began the war by launching attacks on Iran, which led to significant damage to US military sites in the region."
Bahrain's Ministry of Interior revoked the citizenship of 69 individuals, accusing them of sympathizing with Iran and colluding with foreign entities. This action follows Iranian strikes on Bahrain amid a broader conflict involving Israel and the United States. The directive, issued by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, stated that all individuals were of non-Bahraini origin. Rights groups condemned the move as a violation of international law, highlighting the lack of transparency regarding the individuals' identities and legal status. Tensions in Bahrain have been exacerbated by historical grievances from the Shia population against the government.
