Bahrain’s Interior Ministry: Cell linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard uncovered, 41 people arrested

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced on Saturday that it had thwarted the activities of a group it said was linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and the ideology of “Wilayat al-Faqih,” following extensive surveillance operations and security investigations.

In a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency, the ministry said that “based on the findings of investigations and security reports, and what was established by previous investigations conducted by the Public Prosecution in cases involving espionage for foreign entities and sympathy with the blatant Iranian aggression, the security services were able to uncover a group linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and the ideology of Wilayat al-Faqih.”

It added that “41 people from the main group have been arrested, and legal procedures against them are being completed, while search and investigation operations continue in order to take the necessary measures against anyone proven to be involved in the activities of this group and in committing acts that violate the law.”
