Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain announced on Monday (May 9, 2016) in a ceremony attended by senior family members and officials that it completed implementing the recommendations of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI).

King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa conferred the Bahrain Medal of the First Class on Professor Bassiouni in a ceremony in which the Minister of Justice Khalid bin Ali Al Khalifa announced the completion of the implementation of BICI recommendations.

The Justice Minister said during the ceremony attended by the Prime Minister Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa that Bahrain has succeeded in overcoming this issue.

For his part, Bassiouni said "Bahrain was able, under the leadership of the King, to deal with the 2011 incidents wisely," noting that the implementation of the recommendations took place thanks to the dedicated efforts of all those who were keen on Bahrain's security, stability and prosperity.

The opposition; however, stressed in a statement that most of the BICI recommendations were not implemented and demanded to meet with Bassiouni to clarify its point of view in this regard.
