(BCHR/IFEX) - 24 March 2010 - The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) and the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights express their deep concern over the recent interception by the Ministry of Information of a live broadcast by the official radio of Bahrain. The radio station was broadcasting the proceedings of the Bahraini Council of Representatives, specifically discussions on a report submitted by a parliamentary committee investigating State property. The report pointed to the involvement of several government officials, members of the ruling family and the Royal Court in the largest corruption scandal witnessed in the history of the country, which involved the taking over of land valued at US$40 billion, some which was earmarked for housing, educational and health projects, and public gardens.
