AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Bahrain's most prominent Shia cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim will deliver speech tonight on the 11th anniversary of the start of the country’s revolution.
He will address a ceremony planned to be held in Qom starting at 8 PM Saturday night, Bahrain’s main opposition group, the al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, announced on Twitter.
The group said the motto of this year’s programs on the anniversary of the popular uprising is “United on the Path of Truth”.
Al-Wefaq and other opposition groups have called on Bahraini people to intensify their protests and launch a civil disobedience campaign as a sign of commitment to the aspirations of the revolution.
On Monday, hundreds of Bahrainis took to the streets to peacefully march against Al-Khalifa regime on the 11th anniversary of the February 14th uprising, which erupted in 2011 to demand freedom and democracy.
Demonstrations have been held in Bahrain on a regular basis ever since a popular uprising began in mid-February 2011.
Bahrain’s most prominent cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim has previously said that drawing up a new constitution was the only way out of the political crisis in the protest-hit tiny Persian Gulf country, urging the regime in Manama to pursue an agreement with the Bahraini opposition instead of increasingly suppressing dissent.
The participants demand that the Al Khalifa regime relinquish power and allow a just system representing all Bahrainis to be established.
Manama, however, has gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent.
