Bahrain's justice ministry on Monday filed for the dissolution of the National Democratic Action Society (Waad), the second largest opposition society.

This came after the dissolution of Al Wefaq National Islamic Society, the largest opposition party.

In a statement carried by Bahrain News Agency, the ministry accused the Waad of involvement in major violations, including supporting terrorism and violence and glorifying convicts of terrorism.

Al Wefaq was disbanded for similar reasons, as part of strict steps the government said are aimed at eliminating violence in the country.
