Bahrain's main opposition daily, AlWasat, resumed publication on Monday, following its suspension over the weekend by authorities for its "unethical and unprofessional coverage."
The Arabic daily was suspended Saturday after it was accused of publishing "fabricated news and photos" between March 25 to 28, DPA reported.
The Information Affairs Authority cancelled its suspension decision after the board of directors appointed a new editor, Abidli Al-Abidli and fired senior members of the publication's management.
A new board of directors will also be elected within a month.
Mansour al-Jamri, the sacked editor, is a former opposition activist who founded the daily in December 2001.
He is also the son of Sheikh Abdul-Amir al-Jamri, a spiritual leader during the Shiite uprising in the country in the 1990s.
More than 80 per cent of the million-strong population is Muslim - two-thirds are Shiites - while the ruling family are Sunnis. Many Shiites feel discriminated against.
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) troops, led by Saudi Arabia, entered Bahrain in March at the request of the government, after violent crackdowns by security forces failed to stem the protests.
