(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Sheikh Abdullah al-Dabbaq said on Thursday that Bahrainis' steadfastness to redress their rights, firmness and resistance under torturers, as well as international pressure have forced the ruling Al Khalifa family to bend to the public demands.
He noted that Bahrain's nation exemplified that no government can stand against the will and desire of its own people.
Dabbaq added that around 147 detainees, who were arrested earlier in anti-government protests, were released recently by Bahrain's authorities. He said some former lawmakers were among the protesters freed.
The senior Bahraini cleric pointed out that a number of mass rallies are going to be held across Bahrain in the next few days. Besides, people plan to converge on central Manama's now destroyed Pearl Square, and the country's main opposition party, Al-Wefaq, is organizing a large-scale demonstration.
Dabbaq said that international pressure is mounting on Al Khalifa regime; and Bahrain's rulers are worried to be brought to justice before the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands.
