Bahrain: Al-Wefaq unlikely to be suspended

The Bahraini government has clarified a court ruling on 28 October that seemed to suspend opposition group Al-Wefaq for three months. As GSN reported at the time, a statement from the justice ministry seemed to suggest the ruling would not be enforced if Al-Wefaq fulfilled its legal obligations (something Al-Wefaq says it has already done).The government has since confirmed that the suspension would not take place “if the society puts things right at its general conference”, a spokeswoman at the Bahrain embassy in London told GSN.
