(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Last month, Bahrain witnessed more than 448 protests that march the streets on a nightly basis calling for democratic transition.Khalil Al Marzooq, the Political Assistant of Al-Wefaq’s Secretary General, said that such a huge number of protests in a country like Bahrain, and in only one month, proves that there is a deep crisis between the people and the Government.“The nationwide movement in Bahrain is demanding a democratic participatory political system in place of the current tyranny and dictatorship,” he stated.“The ongoing peaceful protests prove that the revolution for democratic transition has not stopped,” he added, “The regime’s arrests, sham trails, collective punishments and use of excessive violence necessitate the people’s demand for peaceful transfer of power be fulfilled, because the people are the source of all powers and sovereignty”.Al Marzooq the political majority of the people who fill the streets en masse, have raised national and common demands which guarantee stable future for Bahrain far from any monopoly control by one group.“The international community is providing the Bahraini authority maneuvering-space in fake labels such as the complaints office and dialogue. At the same time, it continues to ignore the Government’s daily repression and the disenfranchisement of the Bahraini people who are even banned the right to expression”.“The international community is demanded to openly and truthfully support a democratic transition in Bahrain by putting pressure on the regime to end the repression and provide an opportunity for an inclusive and long-term political solution by enabling the people to manage their country’s affairs. This is fulfilled through an elected government, a full-power parliament, fair electoral districts based on the “one voice for each citizen” principle, an impartial and independent judiciary and diversified security forces”.The Bahrain regime forces continue to face the daily protests with force, pursuits, arrests and fabricated charges to retaliate from protesters dissident to the Government. However, despite all, Bahrain witnesses day and night protests in different areas. The regime not only attacks and punishes the protesters for expressing their opinions, but the residents of the areas witnessing the protests usually get a big share of the regime’s collective punishment. Toxic and lethal gasses are fired on to homes. This practice has resulted in many deaths from asphyxia inside homes./129
