(CNN) — Lawmakers in Bahrain have passed tough new laws for “terrorism acts” ahead of massive protests by the opposition on August 14, the state news agency BNA reported.

The National Assembly, in a session Sunday, approved new penalties for those who commit or incite “terrorism,” including stripping Bahrainis of citizenship.

Legislators also banned any demonstrations in the tiny kingdom’s capital, Manama.
