"Opposition movement keeping up with its cause"
Bahrain’s most prominent religious scholar Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim says the opposition movement in the Persian Gulf island State would keep up with its cause until the people’s rights are recognized by Manama.
According to reports, the Ayatollah said in a statement carried by Bahrain Mirror on Tuesday that people in Bahrain are expressing their opposition to the regime by peaceful means.
He condemned the regime’s continued crackdown on opposition, saying the regime’s prisons are filled with political activists and prisoners of conscience, and that its courts are still issuing “unjust” verdicts against them.
The religious scholar noted that the relation between the regime and the nation is “not normal” because of the regime’s stance, adding that the solution is to establish a just relationship between the two sides through dropping death sentences issued against opponents and releasing political detainees.
Bahraini protesters demand that the Aal-e Khalifah minority regime relinquish power and allow a just system representing everyone to be established.
