Bahraini Scholars Urge Support for Sheikh Qassim
According to the Manama Post daily, they called for the resumption of peaceful protests in different parts of the country.
They underlined that the Bahraini nation will continue their struggle against oppression without resorting to violence.
Sheikh Qassim in a recent statement said the Bahraini nation is unyielding in its pursuit of truth, justice and freedom.
He has been an outspoken critic of the Manama regime’s policies.
Thousands of anti-regime protesters have regularly held demonstrations in Bahrain ever since the popular uprising began in the country in mid-February 2011. The protesters are demanding that the Al Khalifa dynasty relinquish power and allow a just system representing all Bahrainis to be established.
Manama has gone to great lengths to crack down on any sign of dissent. In March 2011, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were deployed to assist Bahrain in its crackdown.
Scores of people have lost their lives and hundreds of others sustained injuries or gotten arrested in the Al Khalifa regime’s crackdown.
