Bahrain’s Public Prosecution Summons Tweeter Nader Abdulimam for Interrogation

Bahrain Mirror: Tweeter Nader Abdulimam said that the Bahraini authorities handed him a notice on Wednesday (November 16, 2016) ordering him to appear before the public prosecution for interrogation.
Abdulimam did not mention anything about his interrogation date or reason. However, this summons comes in the context of the authorities' wide campaign that aims at creating malicious cases against the activists to justify banning them from traveling.
The Bahraini authorities have launched since June the worst campaign since the Saudi and Emirati forces entered the country to crush democracy-demanding protests in March 2011.
Bahrain Forum for Human Rights said that summoning activists by the Prosecution, and convicting them with charges, is a means to "justify" the travel ban imposed on them; a measure that received harsh criticism from the United Nations and Washington.
