Bahrain has launched a security crackdown since Iran began attacking the country in late February, arresting dozens of people accused of collaborating with Tehran.
Last month, Bahrain sentenced nine people to life imprisonment for carrying out what authorities described as “hostile and terrorist acts” in cooperation with the IRGC.
In April, 69 people were stripped of their citizenship for allegedly supporting Iranian attacks on the country.
Bahrain is home to a large Shia population, many of whom have long accused the authorities of political and economic marginalisation. The government denies discriminating against Shia citizens and has repeatedly accused Iran of fuelling unrest in the kingdom.
