Two brothers, Jawad and Jalal Fairuz, who were former members of Bahrain’s parliament representing the country’s main opposition group al-Wefaq, were among the individuals whose citizenships were revoked, the official Bahrain News Agency reported on Wednesday.

The list also included Ali Mashaima, the son of Hassan Mashaima who is the leader of the opposition movement Haq and is serving a life sentence.

Matar Matar, a leading al-Wefaq member, said that many of those being named by the Bahraini authorities “were acquitted by a military court” after being accused of undermining state security.

Bahrain’s uprising began in mid-February 2011.

On October 30, the Manama regime imposed a ban on all public gatherings across the country.

The protesters say they will continue holding demonstrations against the Al Khalifa regime until their demand for the establishment of a democratically elected government is met.
