Bahrain Mirror: The head of the Religious Freedoms Department at the Bahrain Human Rights Observatory, Sheikh Maytham Al-Salman, said that the Bahraini authorities released the prominent Shiite cleric and president of the (dissolved) Islamic Scholars Council, Sayed Majeed Al-Mesh'al, after interrogation.

Al-Salman further stated that Al-Mesh'al denied the charges of "promoting hatred against the regime" raised against him, over his mentioning of the UN special rapporteurs reports on the human rights conditions in Bahrain.

Al-Salman had stated earlier today (Monday, 28 March, 2016) that the Al-Naim Police Station summoned Al-Mesh'al for interrogation.
