Bahraini authorities have re-arrested a prominent opposition leader for "violating the law", just three weeks after his release from jail, the interior ministry has said.

Ibrahim Sharif, a Sunni who once headed the Waed secular group, had been freed on June 19 after spending four years in jail over his involvement in 2011 Shia-led anti-government protests.

The government did not say why he was re-arrested.

Opposition sources said he was taken back to prison after he criticised the government during a ceremony for one of the victims of the unrest that rocked the kingdom.
