Bahrain Mirror: The highest religious authority Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim returned on Sunday (December 10, 2017) to his besieged house in Diraz, two days after undergoing an urgent surgery.

Sheikh Qassim has been under house arrest since the King of Bahrain issued a decision revoking his citizenship due to his stances that support the political reforms and his trial over a charge related to a Shiite religious ritual.

Four UN experts called on Bahraini authorities to allow Sheikh Isa Qassim receive needed treatment, adding that he should be free to move around without restrictions and not be subject to de facto house arrest.
