Her lawyers disputed the charges, saying there was "no formal decision declaring that Pearl Square is a forbidden area".
Defence attorney Mohamed al-Wasta also said on his Twitter account that the prosecution ordered Khawaja's detention for a week on charges of incitement against the regime.
Khawaja, whose father is serving a life sentence for plotting against the state, has faced justice on several occasions already this year.
Her lawyer says she was arrested on Sunday after visiting a hospital in Manama to check on a youth injured during a demonstration.
In October, Khawaja was freed after serving a two-month jail term for destroying government property.
The judiciary accused her of tearing apart a portrait of King Hamad during detention, according to Amnesty International.
In May, she served a one-month prison sentence for assaulting a police officer.
Bahrain came under strong criticism from international human rights organisations over last year's deadly crackdown on the protests, led by the majority Shiites in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.
An international panel commissioned by King Hamad to probe the government's clampdown found that excessive force and torture had been used against protesters and detainees.
