Bahrain's Al Khalifa government has arrested a vendor for selling clothing bearing the slogan 'Hayhat Minna al-Dhillah' ('Far from us is humiliation'), effectively banning both wearing and displaying the phrase. The crackdown comes ahead of the months of Muharram and Safar, significant periods for the country's Shia community. The move is the latest in a series of restrictions targeting Bahrain's Shia population, who continue to face pressure from authorities.
