The Bahraini authorities stripped the nationality of 31 Bahraini citizens whilst announcing this to be an initial list followed by another. Some beneficiaries of the Bahraini authorities are calling for the banishment of those who have had their nationalities revoked. This is a dangerous matter which should be taken seriously, as the realisation of such a notion would result in the complete disregard of civil rights of the citizens.
This report has been updated with the latest developments that occurred since the first publication, taking into consideration the nationality stripping of a further 18 Bahrainis aswell as the threat of deportation to 10 of the original 31 that remained in the country.
