AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, the highest religious authority in Bahrain, described the authorities' prevention of Ashura commemoration in Bahrain as a war against Imam Al-Hussein (PBUH).
Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim commented on the latest developments in commemorating Ashura saying "Allowing the opening of commercial complexes, markets, swimming pools and sports halls, while denying the commemoration of Ashura means: We do not want Al-Hussein, Al-Hussein must be expelled and the war is against Al-Hussein."
The Al Khalifa regime in Bahrain is planning measures to hinder mourning rituals that the country’s Shia majority organize during the month of Muharram.
The ruling regime in Bahrain has in recent years tried to prevent the country’s Shias from holding the mourning rituals.
Restrictive measures and rights abuses have increased in Bahrain in the run-up to Muharram, Bahrain Mirror reported.
The measures include summoning those organizing mourning rituals to threaten them.
Some religious centers have been warned that in case of hosting Muharram rituals, they will be fined and shut down for three years.
The security apparatus has also had some local media to publish article against organizing mourning ceremonies.
