Interior Ministry Assistant Undersecretary for Nationality, Passports and Residence announced that Ana Gomez, a member of the European Parliament, provided information that raised the suspicions of Bahrain airport officials upon her arrival in the country.
“When the airport officials questioned the information provided, the MP changed her answers which raised further concern. As a result, she was denied an upon-arrival visa and was directed to secure a proper visa through official channels. The MP opted to wait at the airport to travel through the airline on which she arrived,” the statement said.
