Leading Bahraini human rights activist Nabeel Rajab has been arrested over Twitter remarks deemed "denigrating" to government institutions.

Rajab, who heads the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, had just returned to the country after an advocacy tour abroad.

He had served two years in prison for organising anti-government protests before being released in May.

Despite being a majority Shia country, Bahrain's government is Sunni-led and has faced ongoing protests since 2011.

Mr Rajab was often seen in the forefront of those demonstrations and is a vocal critic of the ruler, King Hamad al-Khalifa.

He is also a prominent voice on social media, with almost 240,000 followers on Twitter.
