Bahrain restores citizenship of cleric
|
[Arab News] Bahrain's king has restored the citizenship of a leading holy man, in a possible gesture aimed at easing sectarian tension in the Gulf nation.
Bahrain News Agency said King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ordered Wednesday that Hussein Al-Najati and his family be returned their passports "after correcting their status."
Al-Najati, the Bahrain representative for Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, was stripped of citizenship by the king in September in a sweep against suspected Shiite dissent before last month's parliamentary elections.
Shiite representatives maintained their 18 seats in the 40-member council.
