“The Islamic Republic of Iran's fundamental principles result from its Islamic belief about the imperative of helping suppressed nations regardless of their religious and tribal orientations,” a member of the al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Ibrahim Al Madhoun, was quoted by Mehr News Agency as saying.
Ayatollah Khamenei on Friday described Iran's support for popular revolutions in Arab nations especially in Bahrain against western-backed dictators as a religious and Islamic duty.
The Leader also criticized the double standards commonly practiced by the West regarding oppressive rulers in Muslim countries and their silence on the massacre committed by the state against innocent Bahraini people.
Al Madhoun condemned the “oppressive regimes” that “ignore the nations' rights and their legitimate demand for freedom” and said, “Suppressing and violating the nations' legitimate rights is now happening in Bahrain…with the help of foreign forces.”
At least 24 Bahrainis have so far been martyred, almost 100 are missing and about 1,000 others have been injured during anti-government protests that began in mid-February against the two-century-long rule of Al Khalifa dynasty.
The Bahraini demonstrators maintain that they will hold their ground until their demands for freedom and constitutional monarchy are met. They also call for a proportional representation in the government.
Hundreds of Thousands Bahraini people planned a huge demonstration across the country on Friday, March 25.
Bahraini People announced plans for another "Day of Rage" on Friday in defiance of the martial law imposed since last week.
It should be said that 'Day of Rage' on Friday should be cover by all media and satellite channels or through forums, Facebook and Twitter. Eight routs have been marked for protests on Friday:
1 - Bahrain Airport.
2 - Royal Court.
3 - Safriya Palace (Western Region).

5 - March out of Diraz region towards Qadam Roundabout.
6 - March on the main street of Sitrah.
