On November 9, police fired teargas and blocked roads to stop thousands of Shias joining prayers led by one of their spiritual leaders – an event which appeared to flout a ban on rallies.
The interior ministry said its investigation had found that a group of policemen had physically attacked one man, Hassan Mohamed Abdullah, who was trying to attend the meeting in Bani Jamra, a village west of Manama.
The ministry referred the case to the public prosecutor and the police officers will have a court hearing on tomorow, it said.
