The king of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa ordered to suspend the emergency law in the country in an attempt to show that the uprisings to demand reforms have been contained. The announcement that the state of emergency would be lifted two weeks earlier than planned came hours after the start of a closed trial on activists accused of plotting the overthrow of the Sunni monarchy.
The decision appears to be part of Bahrain's international campaign to restore confidence in financial markets. At least 30 people have been killed since the protests began in February, inspired by revolt against the autocratic presidents in Tunisia and Egypt.
