    In a report published Thursday, Amnesty International accused the Bahraini authorities of cracking down on its opponents and of backing promises to review and reform its human rights approach.
     
    "Despite repeated allegations, it retreated from the reform promises it made after its harsh response to the 2011 events ... and since June 2016 has tightened its campaign against its opponents," the organization said.
     
    The human rights organization called on Manama to immediately and unconditionally release political dissidents and to return to the decision to dissolve the Al-Wefaq parliamentary group and the opposition political party Waad.
     
    Bahrain has been racking up unrest since the suppression of a protest movement in February 2011 in the midst of the "Arab Spring" events demanding a constitutional monarchy.
     
    In the past months, the Bahraini authorities have stepped up prosecution and prosecution of their opponents. In mid-January, three opponents were sentenced to death by firing squad for the murder of three security men, including an Emirati officer, in March 2014, leading to demonstrations.
     
    In April, the king of Bahrain approved a constitutional amendment that would abolish military tribunals from crimes committed by military personnel and open the door to trials of civilians before military courts, the official news agency reported Monday.
     
    In July 2016, the dissolution of the opposition al-Wefaq, which had the largest parliamentary bloc before the resignation of its deputies in February 2011, and its leader Sheikh Ali Salman was sentenced to nine years in prison after being convicted on charges including "promoting regime change by force" To reduce the sentence to five years.
