The move did not affect the position of the prime minister, Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa, a target of the demonstrations.

The reshuffle also came as opposition leader Hassan Mashaima returned from self-imposed exile following a pardon by the king, amid fears by the Sunni rulers of regime-changing protests in the Arab world.
