Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Khalid Al Khalifa, rejected US calls to Bahrain regarding releasing the prominent human rights defender, Nabeel Rajab, and dropping the charges against him (in the two cases).

The minister tweeted on his official Twitter account that the statement of MP Abdulla Bin Howail "concerning the refusal of inference in Nabeel Rajab's case and respecting the Bahraini judiciary, is a true statement that clearly reflects the public's opinion."

For his part, MP Bin Howail has already made a statement through which he refused what he called the US interference in Rajab's case after Washington had demanded the release of Rajab and dropping charges against him.
