Nabeel Rajab, human rights activist and founder of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, talks to Middle East Eye about the continuing pro-democracy movement in the country, the impact of the Bahrain Indepedent Commission of Inquiry, the impact of pro-Gaza protests and the influence of Iran.
Rajab served two years in jail after being convicted in 2012 for organising "illegal gatherings and disturbing public order."
Though he plans to return to Bahrain, he will face heavy scrutiny and harassment from the security services.
