Next week marks one year since the Bahraini human rights activist and Index on Censorship award winner Nabeel Rajab was imprisoned on charges for which he has yet to be sentenced
Press freedom organisations and local Bahraini groups have raised alarm today over the suspension of Bahrain’s only independent newspaper, Al Wasat, which has been barred from publishing for three days now.
