Bahrain’s Shia Leader Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Ghasem said the people of Bahrain will not give in to the Al-e Khalifa regime’s policy of deception and intimidation.
Addressing worshippers at Imam Sadeq (AS) Mosque in Manama on Friday, he underlined that the nation of Bahrain are steadfast in pursuing their demands and have made many sacrifices on this path.
He said the nation of Bahrain is insisting on gaining its political rights, freedom and dignity and will not give up its demands.
The Shia leader referred to the process of dialogue in Bahrain and said the regime has done little to prove its good will.
No one has heard of the arrest of those responsible for torturing the prisoners and violation of law continues in front of people’s eyes, he went on to say.
The Bahraini people’s uprising began in mid-February 2011, when the people started holding massive demonstrations against the Western-backed Al Khalifa ruling family.
The Bahraini regime promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring states to help quash the revolt.
Dozens of people have been killed in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds of others, including doctors and nurses accused of curing injured protesters.
