Shia cleric Abdul Nabi al-Nashaba was arrested, reportedly over the content of a religious sermon he gave, and charged with "contempt of a sect." He was released a few weeks later.
Abdul Nabi al-Nashaba is a Bahraini Shia cleric who in July 2019 was arrested for blasphemy. He was then kept in jail for around a month and a half, charged with “contempt of a sect.” When he was released in September, his charges were not dropped.
It is unclear exactly what offense Abdul had committed in order to be charged with insulting a sect. According to his family, the charge originated from content in a religious sermon he gave.

Bahrain is an explicitly Islamic monarchy where Islam is the state religion and the main source of legislation is Islamic religious law. Currently, its official blasphemy prohibitions are milder than many neighboring nations: insulting recognized religious groups can come with fines and/or imprisonment of up to one year. A majority of the population is Muslim, about 70%.
