On 31 May, just after the King of Bahrain had called for dialogue without preconditions to begin in early July the military National Safety Court issued an order for Rajab's arrest along with those of prominent Al Wefaq parliamentarians. Rajab was accused of spreading false news and statements about the situation in Bahrain and promoting hatred and disrespect of a specific religious sect, in addition to humiliating the king of Bahrain. All the detainees were released the same day.
