Bahrain deports four foreign activists

Bahraini government announced on Saturday that it has decided to expel the four because they “lied on immigration forms” and “took part in illegal demonstrations.”

Although the nationalities of the deportees were not revealed, Bahrain’s main opposition group Al-Wefaq said one American and one Briton were among the group.

Last Tuesday marked the first anniversary of popular protests in Bahrain that have been repressed by the Saudi-backed regime forces.

On the anniversary day, the authorities announced the expulsion of eight Americans while two others were deported three days earlier.

Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds more arrested or fired from their jobs since the beginning of Bahrain’s popular uprising in February 2011.
