In the name of Allah the most Merciful
The life of Bahrainis’ spiritual and national leader, His Eminence, Sheikh Isa Ahmed Qassim, has been particularly critical and intolerable. Immediately, the Bahraini authority must halt Shiekh Qassim’s house arrest and rescind the unlawful military siege. The ongoing siege illustrates that the regime deliberately, and chiefly its head, are determined to liquidate Sheikh Qassim.
The life of this figure, who has dedicated his whole life to serve Islamic religion, is very crucial. Bahrainis, indeed, are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of Shiekh Qassim and pledge to exert their utmost endeavours to protect him.
Currently, the Bahrainis are being exposed to an open-ended systematic crackdown against their religious rituals and figures; their political leaders; and their youth and women. Raids and arrests campaigns have been continued. Besides, false charges against political opponents have been fabricated, the latest of which was accusing the Secretary-General of the Al-Wefaq political society Shiekh Ali Salman of conspiracy charges. These ineffective practices will neither subordinate Bahrainis nor make them retreat in terms of demanding their fundamental rights, whatsoever.
At this critical time, we call upon the Bahraini people to take the initiative, as they used to heed the calls for solidarity and support with the religion and the nation. We, expressly, call upon men, women, youth and children to peacefully protest this On Thursday night. All Bahrainis are asked to demonstrate for the safety of the homeland and its leaders and the leader and to protest against the escalation of crackdowns, raids and arrests. Moreover, Bahrainis are asked to protest against comprising Bahrain in regional conflicts for it no longer tolerate any unrest, and the confusion is imminent.
Admittedly, the ethical and national responsibility makes it imperative for every Bahraini to move prior the disastrous consequences.
There is no strength except in Allah Almighty
