Bahraini opposition launches legal challenge against suspension

[rss]

Bahrain's main Shi'ite Muslim opposition group has launched a legal challenge against the government's decision to suspend its activities, the group said on Tuesday. Bahrain's Justice Ministry asked a court on Sunday to suspend the activities of the Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society for three months so the group could "correct its legal status", state news agency BNA reported. Sectarian tensions remain in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet, three years after a popular uprising by majority Shi'ite Muslims was quashed by the Sunni-dominated leadership.
