Bahraini Opposition Vows to Continue Struggle against Dictatorship

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Members of Bahrain’s opposition groups residing outside the country underlined their resolve to continue the struggle until the objectives of the revolution, including an end to dictatorship, are realized.

In a statement released ahead of the 6^th anniversary of the start of the February 14, 2011 popular uprising in Bahrain, they called for mobilizing all the power of the people and using all means, including political, legal and media ones, to materialize the revolution’s objectives.

A main priority in the revolution today is participating in the sit-in protest in front of the house of Sheikh Isa Qassim- leader of Bahrain’s Shia majority- to support the senior cleric, they added.

Thousands of anti-regime protesters have held demonstrations in Bahrain on an almost daily basis ever since a popular uprising began in 2011.

They are demanding that the Al Khalifa dynasty relinquish power and let a just system representing all Bahrainis be established.

Manama has gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent. On March 14, 2011, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were deployed to assist Bahrain in its brutal crackdown.

Scores of people have lost their lives and many others got arrested as a result of the crackdown.
