BAHRAIN jailed seven opposition political activists and stripped 11 of citizenship, including a leading female campaigner who was forcibly disappeared and accused of joining a terrorist cell, authorities announced yesterday.
The move was condemned by the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (Bird) who called for the citizenships to be restored. The total number of stateless individuals stands at 824.
Zakeya Albarboori was arrested with her niece Fatema in May 2018. Both women were forcibly disappeared and charged with joining a terrorist cell although Fatema was released the following month.
