More Restrictions on Worshippers in Bahrain

Bahrain’s opposition groups say the Al Kahlifa regime is has been imposing more restrictions on Shia worshippers.

In a latest incident, regime forces prevent worshippers from entering the Al-Barbaqi mosque that has been previously destroyed by the regime, Sawt Al-Manama website reported.

Last week, too, police forces had prevented Shia worshippers from saying prayers in front of the mosque, which is located in the Aali region.

Meanwhile, opposition sources said that following the arrest of a number of opposition activists, Ali Salman, the leader of al-Wefaq movement in Bahrain has also been summoned by the security forces.

 They say the move is aimed at spreading fear among the opposition and dealing a blow to the Bahraini people’s peaceful demonstrations.

Bahrain has been the scene of demonstrations since mid-February 2011. Thousands of pro-democracy protesters have staged numerous demonstrations in the streets of Bahrain, calling for the Al Khalifa family to relinquish power.
