(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Mohammad Reza Abbasian expressed his reluctance to attend the 8th Aljazeera International Documentary Film Festival as a sign of his protest to the network's news policies.
Producer of the “School” documentary film said he will not participate in the film festival in protest to silence of the Al Jazeera towards martyring of the innocent Bahraini people.
The ruling Al Khalifa regime has detained thousands since popular rallies began last February, demanding the regime’s ouster. Scores have been killed in Saudi-backed crackdown on the anti-government demonstrations.
Bahrainis hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death of protesters during the popular uprising in the country that began in February 2011.
