Al-Wasat (Bahraini newspaper)

Al-Wasat (Arabic: الوسط), also Alwasat, was an Arabic-language daily newspaper in Manama, Bahrain. Al-Wasat was generally regarded as the only independent newspaper in Bahrain. The newspaper ran for 15 years, during which it provided reporting unique to Bahrain. The government of Bahrain forcibly closed the newspaper on 4th June 2017, in a move which Amnesty International termed an "all-out campaign to end independent reporting".
