Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain's Foreign Affairs Ministry described the information mentioned in the US State Department report about human rights in Bahrain as "flawed".

Bahrain regretted doubting the integrity of Bahraini judiciary (...) and including names of some individuals involved in criminal cases and referring to them as political or human rights activists despite that they have been convicted of crimes punishable by law.

"The report ignores the progressing democratic practices in Bahrain, including the legislative authority‘s practices and freedom of expression in various media," the statement read.

The ministry stated that it will thoroughly study the content of this report and respond to it in more details later.
