Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) said that 519 media materials and messages that incite or help to incite hatred were monitored in August through following what is published in four official Bahraini newspapers and accounts on social media outlets.

BHFR said that newspapers like the Saudi Arabian Okaz and Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspapers made use of the Gulf crisis with Qatar and the exploited concept of terrorism in order to distort the image of the national opposition in Bahrain through the official media and social media outlets.

It pointed out that some of the media materials that help to incite hatred or contain false information against the opposition were written in a similar form in most of the Gulf newspapers. BFHR explained that 42 media materials relating to the provocative campaign against the Bahraini opposition leader, Sheikh Ali Salman, were monitored in the Gulf and Arab newspapers.

Bahrain Forum for Human Rights explained that "306 media materials and messages that incite or help to incite hatred were monitored on social media outlets (Twitter and Instagram), including accounts of official figures and journalists."
