Bahrain : The Interior Ministry of the Kingdom of Bahrain asserts that the defaming and inciting campaigns against Bahrain and its citizens through the Qatari Al Jazeera Channel come within a systematic framework that lacks professionalism and media credibility.
The ministry highlights the following:
First: The report posted on Al Jazeera Channel website that the attacker of a religious site in Shiraz in Iran is a Bahraini national is baseless.
Second: The media’s credibility and professionalism go against the years-long approach of the channel against the Kingdom of Bahrain. Therefore, the information should be denied immediately, considering that the Iranian local authorities have denied the report.
Third: Qatari Al Jazeera Channel should publish this response to correct its report out of the principle of the right of reply and the clarification of the facts.
