Bahraini foreign ministry condemned Iran’s “blatant interference” in its internal affairs saying the kingdom categorically rejects it, the Anadolu Agency reported.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the ministry’s statement came in response to remarks issued by the Iranian foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham who condemned the Bahraini authorities’ arrest of the Al-Wefaq Islamic Society’s Secretary General Ali Salman.
The Bahraini foreign ministry called on Iran to “adhere to the principles of good neighbours and respect Bahrain’s national sovereignty and stop interfering in internal affairs”.
It also called on the Iranian officials to apply human rights principles and democracy to provide a natural and dignified life for Iranians.
Afkham condemned Salman’s detention after a court ruled to postpone his trial to 25 February.
