Bahraini activist freed in UAE after two months 16 June 2013 Last updated at 09:08 A Bahraini political activist has been freed in the United Arab Emirates nearly two months after being arrested amid official silence. Salah Yafai, 33, was released on Saturday and returned to Bahrain the same day. During his detention, his family had no word as to his whereabouts, a human rights organisation says. He was arrested at Dubai airport on 26 April, according to the Emirates Centre for Human Rights. It appears he was detained because of his membership of a conservative religious society and for tweets in support of jailed political dissidents in the UAE. Last year 94 people, most of them members of the al-Islah society in the UAE, were arrested and are on trial charged with plotting to overthrow the United Arab Emirates government.
