Chief of Bahrain's Terror Crime Prosecution Advocate General Ahmed Al Hammadi said Wednesday that an investigation had been launched in the case of the formation of an illegal organization with the aim of stalling the law, preventing the state from exercising its responsibilities, assaulting personal freedom and harming national unity, BNA reported.

The organization was in contact with people working for a foreign-based organisation engaged in terrorist activities for the purpose of carrying out acts of terrorism against Bahrain, targeting police and pubic order servicemen, participating in illegal rallies, sabotaging private properties and disseminating fake news likely to undermine national security and public order. 

Investigations revealed that the security agencies arrested one of the defendants who established the so-called Manama Human Rights Observatory as a front and a cover to support acts of terrorism in Bahrain.

He divided the members of the organization into groups to carry out activities that were allegedly related to human rights and to mobilize crowds for illegal rallies ostensibly to make human rights demands, but in reality to use them to carry out riots and acts of vandalism and terrorism against police personnel and vehicles and the Ministry of Interior building in Manama.

The investigations also revealed that the founder of the terror organization received support for its activities from the Lebanese Hezbollah through a Bahraini national who worked for the terror group and resided in Lebanon.

One female suspect used human rights work as a cover to communicate and cooperate with Al Karama Foundation to provide them with information and fake news about the situation in Bahrain to undermine its status abroad.
