A legal expert who headed an independent inquiry into Bahrain's unrest last year is due to meet members of Bahrain's political opposition today.

Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) chairman Professor Mahmoud Sharif Bassiouni has been invited back to the country by the government to assess measures taken to implement BICI recommendations.

He is meeting political societies and government officials during the visit.

Yesterday he met Deputy Premier Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, who briefed him on what the government has done over the past two months.
