Bahrain Cracks Down on Dissent Using Anti-Terrorism Laws

[JCMach1]

Bahrain says it has dismantled a terror network that targeted the country's security and stability.
The country's National Security Agency (NSA) said that it had "succeeded in foiling the network's terrorist plans to undermine national security, damage the country's stability, erode national unity, tear the social fabric, prolong violence, attack innocent people and destroy public and private property"... Other charges laid by the NSA included incitement to acts of rioting, organising rallies in public places, committing crimes of arson and non-compliance with the law.
According to the NSA, members of unlicensed movements Haq, Al Wafa, Objection and the London-based Bahrain Freedom Movement were involved in the formation and running of the network... http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/bahrain/bahrain-security-agency-dismantles-terror-network-1.678126
