Bahrain Mirror: Page of Bahraini journalist author Ibrahim Al-Sheikh on Twitter indicates that his ban to write didn't come from Akhbar Al-Khaleej.

The author didn't mention the party that prevented him from writing in the newspaper.

Al-Sheikh was arrested last April after he criticized covering war on Yemen and giving false impression of the military superiority of the Saudi-led coalition.

The public and journalistic freedoms in Bahrain have declined dramatically since the authorities crushed the opposition protest in the Pearl [Lualua] Roundabout in 2011. The government is being criticized by states and human rights organizations.
