In June, the authorities had closed down Wefaq and revoked the citizenship of a top Shi'ite cleric.
DUBAI:
Bahrain's highest court dissolved the country's main Shi'ite Muslim opposition group al-Wefaq, and liquidated the group's funds, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television reported today.
The funds would be claimed by the state treasury, the report said. The decision advances a crackdown on the Gulf kingdom's opposition after the authorities closed down Wefaq and revoked the citizenship of a top Shi'ite cleric in June.
