Iran condemns Bahraini regime for executing political prisoners

The Iranian foreign ministry deplored the Manama regime for issuing death sentence for three Bahraini political prisoners, voicing regret that the Bahraini regime doesn’t seek a peaceful solution to the crisis in the country.

"Manama again showed through its immature measures that it is not after a peaceful resolution and a way out of the crisis in Bahrain," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Sunday.

Stressing that the international human rights organizations have confirmed that the trial of the three Bahraini activists has not been done based on the rules of transparency, he said it is regretting that while the Bahraini people and political and religious figures emphasize talks and interaction to resolve the problems, the government leads the country towards full obstruction by increasing pressure on opposition leaders and political prisoners.

Qassemi warned that the Bahraini government would face the consequences of its extremist measures and behavior.

The rallies began on Saturday and lasted into Sunday, when the outraged public marched across the capital Manama and the Northeastern villages of Nuwaidrat and al-Dair after the morning prayers.
