Bahraini authorities have seized certain books and publications for “sowing the seeds of disunity,” the information ministry said Tuesday.
“The contents of these books and publications risk sowing the seeds of division and schism between Muslims,” the ministry said in a statement, cited by the official Bahraini news agency, GNA.
An official source at the ministry underlined the importance of being cautious in dealing with such publications, and asserted the need to prevent the circulation of such material, said the agency.
The source also urged people to inform citizens to preserve the unity of loyal Bahraini people as a close-knit family, it said.
Bahraini Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa in February issued a decree pardoning more than 290 political prisoners and allowing the return of 108 exiles only days before Bahrainis voted overwhelmingly in a referendum for a new national charter which promises a freely elected Parliament – Albawaba.com
