Bahrain targets Shia religious sites - Middle East - Al Jazeera EnglishThe Bahraini government has destroyed a number of mosques in continuation of its aggressive crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, a special Al Jazeera investigation has revealed. At least 28 mosques and Shia religious institutions have been destroyed in the Gulf state since the crackdown on Shia-led protests began in Mid-March, the opposition group, Al Wefaq, told Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford.
The Justice Ministry, however, said it was tearing down the mosques because they were not licensed.
