Manama’s security forces detained another Shiite cleric on Monday after summoning him for questioning at the Muharraq Police Station.

Authorities claimed that Sheikh Abdul Mohsen Mulla Attiya al-Jamri would appear before the public prosecutor although there is no word yet on the allegations he faces.

Recent weeks have seen dozens of Bahraini Shiite religious figures detained or interrogated in connection with the annual Ashura commemorations.

Some were held in custody for more than a month over the contents of their sermons.
