The Bahraini Opposition refers to various political groups and movements in Bahrain that challenge the ruling monarchy. These groups advocate for democratic reforms, human rights, and greater political representation. The opposition includes both secular and religious factions, with some calling for a constitutional monarchy and others seeking a republic. The opposition gained prominence during the 2011 Arab Spring, when widespread protests erupted demanding political change. The government responded with a crackdown, leading to arrests and accusations of human rights abuses. Despite these challenges, the opposition continues to push for reforms and engage in political activism within the country and abroad.
