Bahraini authorities on Thursday lifted a ban on the electronic edition of Al-Wasat newspaper, which was accused of sowing sedition during protests triggered by the execution of three Shias.
The information ministry said in a statement that it has decided to allow the daily to use electronic media, after it had banned the daily on Monday from posting online.
The ban that was open-ended did not affect the paper edition, and was "due to the newspaper's repeated publishing of and spreading (material) that sows sedition in society and harms national unity", the ministry said at the time.
It was imposed a day after protests broke out against the execution of three members of Bahrain's Shia majority convicted of a deadly bomb attack on police in 2014.
