Bahrain Denies Entry of U.S. Human Rights Group Representative

Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- Bahrain has denied the entry of a representative of U.S. organization the Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), an official statement published on Wednesday said, adding:.

The representative was denied entry because he had no "valid reason" for visiting Bahrain. And the Bahraini authorities have not denied entry of anyone who visits for valid reasons and on account of genuine business. No one, however, is above the law. This is as true in Bahrain as it is other countries of the world."
