The Bahraini authorities have suspended the publication of the newspaper 'Al Wasat' main opposition media in the country, considering that is disseminated false information about the protests for weeks remain divided to the two social groups in the country, the Shia majority, and the Sunnis, the ruling elite.
"The newspaper has endorsed the fabrication, falsification and plagiarism as its guiding principles to deceive their readers by publishing stories and photographs made" includes the official news agency, BNA. In this sense, the Bahraini authorities have considered that the paper represented "a direct and deliberate threat to the security and stability of the kingdom", which is experiencing one of its most convulsive periods after the outbreak of the pro-democracy riots.
The chief editor of the newspaper, Mansur al-Jamri, said that it is still unclear whether the ban on publication will be revoked, although he has resigned to "safeguard" the newspaper. "It looks like an orchestrated campaign to silence the last independent voice [Bahrain]," he asserted.
Al Jamri has reported the harassment to which the regime has undergone over the past weeks' Al Wasat. " Thus, recalled that a group of plainclothes policemen raided the printing causing major damage. "We have been working in extreme conditions. Our staff have been attacked physically, we are threatened," he stated.
In this line, pointed out that he was attacked at the headquarters of state television, so I judged that it could also be a campaign against him. Al Jamri, son of Abdul Amir al Jamri, who led the Shiite opposition in the 1990's, returned to the country for 10 years before the democratic reforms announced by the King, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
The riots broke out in February, inspired by the success of Tunisia and Egypt. Bahraini protesters demand that the monarch compliance with the promised reforms and an end to the social differences between Shiites and Sunnis.
