Social media posts claim that the carrier's logo was replaced by an image of jailed activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who has been on a hunger strike for two months. On Sunday, Bahrain's top judicial panel rejected a request by Denmark to gain custody of al-Khawaja, who is also a Danish citizen.
Al-Khawaja and seven other leading opposition figures were sentenced to life in prison last year for anti-state crimes linked to ongoing anti-government protests by Bahrain's Shiite majority.
