Bahrain Mirror: France deplored the shutdown of the headquarters of Al-Wefaq political opposition group and the suspension of its activities, urging the authorities of Bahrain to reverse this decision and to guarantee and protect democratic expression in the kingdom.

French Foreign Ministry stressed that "only the resumption of a broad dialogue, in respect of human rights and the rule of law, will promote national reconciliation and guarantee the long-term easing of tensions."
