Bahrain Mirror: The High Administrative Court presided over by Judge Jouma'a Al-Mousa and memberships of judges Mohammad Toufic, Tariq Abdulshakour and Mohammad Al-Dousaqi and Abudullah Ibrahim as a secretariat, rejected the case brought by 8 people, demanding to cancel the decision of the Minister of Interior that revokes their citizenships.
The plaintiffs (Mariam Al-Sayed Ibrahim, Ismail Khalil Darwish, Ibrahim Khalil Darwish, Adnan Ahmad Ali Haji, Habib Darwish Mousa Ghaloum, Al-Sayed Abdulnabi Abdulrida Al-Mosawi, Sayed Abdulamir Abdulrida Al-Mosawi and Sayed Mohammad Ali Abdulrida) brought a case demanding to cancel the minister of interior's decision that revokes their citizenships, bind the defendant to pay the fees of the case and that of the attorney.
The plaintiffs said that the defendant- Minister of Interior- issued a decision revoking their citizenships. However, the plaintiffs said that this decision violates the citizenship law.
