The decision comes as Bahraini protesters have voiced readiness to sacrifice their lives in defense of the people's right to hold peaceful protests against Al Khalifa royal family.
The government's violent crackdown on anti-government demonstrations has been stepped up by a military incursion by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar who dispatched their armed forces to Bahrain.

He has also urged Bahrain's neighbors and the international community to support a dialogue process and an environment conducive for credible reform in Bahrain.
