Lawyer Abdullah al-Shamlawi said today that prosecutors agreed to a defense request to lift the ban against Ali Salman, the head of the Shiite bloc al-Wefaq.
Salman was summoned by authorities in late December for questioning on allegations of incitement over comments made in a sermon. He was accused of using sectarian language, inciting hatred against the Sunni-led government and promoted rioting and vandalism.
He was let go but barred from traveling abroad while prosecutors considered the case.
