The Minister of State for Information Affairs and Official Spokesperson for the Government , Samira Ibrahim bin Rajab, said Iran was continuing its political and ideological incitement campaigns against the Kingdom of Bahrain, stressing that the reports circulated on some Bahraini opposition websites alleging human rights violations in Bahrain were part of this drive.

The minister, in her statement to Quds Press, expressed shock with the Iranian policy, saying that Bahrain had always promoted friendship and good-neighborly relations with all neighboring states.

She said that Iran was continuing its media campaigns and its political and ideological incitement against Bahrain through the Iranian media, houses of worship and religious figures loyal to Iran. “We receive such harm directly, and there are forces trying to spread chaos and violence in Bahrain. Their full allegiance is to welayat al faqih,” she said
The minister added that the reports that alleged the existence of human rights violations in Bahrain were mere media fabrications and part of the anti-Bahrain campaigns.
“Claims there are systematic human rights violations in Bahrain are baseless and lack credibility and aim to attract the sympathy of international parties.”
She said that Bahrain was well ahead of several countries in the respect of human rights, and pointed out to the fact that Bahrain has recently received a delegation from the High Commission for Human Rights within the context of cooperation and training on human rights issues.
