The number of legislators, who have signed a request to revoke the parliamentary membership of three MPs, has increased to 36. This leaves Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam as the final signatory. Parliament has 40 members.
The MPs targeted are Parliament first deputy speaker Abdulnabi Salman, services committee chairman Mamdooh Al Saleh and services committee member Dr Mahdi Al Shuwaikh.
Both Mr Salman and Dr Al Shuwaikh are Taqadumi bloc members. However, bloc member MP Eman Shuwaiter quit the bloc yesterday and joined the request to revoke their membership.
In a three-page memorandum, the signatories asked the Speaker to initiate constitutional and procedural steps to consider revoking the MPs’ membership under the Constitution and Parliament’s Internal Regulations.
The signatories said that the three MPs adopted a position critical of state measures taken against individuals accused of glorifying Iranian attacks against Bahrain, including the revocation of citizenship.
