The Bahraini Regime insults it’s Shiite community with direct threats and accusations

The regime in Bahrain has made direct accusations and threats against the Shiite sect in the country, at a time of continued domination and control by the regime and the ruling family, of the legislative, judicial and executive powers in Bahrain.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The regime in Bahrain has made direct accusations and threats against the Shiite sect in the country, at a time of continued domination and control by the regime and the ruling family, of the legislative, judicial and executive powers in Bahrain. It is adapting the state for the benefit of its own projects, going against the direction of the will of the people and confiscating their rights.The latest accusations came from a Government spokesperson that spoke openly about treason and threatened a large component of Bahraini society. This behavior reflects the systematic sectarian targeting and inflaming of tensions to create religious conflict between citizens.Al Wefaq National Islamic Society said that the Bahraini society is bigger than to respond to the destruction and fragmentation projects that the regime is trying to implement, disregarding the higher national interest.This had led to the people to demand a state based on citizenship rather than tribal, sect or ethnicity. Al Wefaq added that this discrimination is formally and systematically organized at all levels and is being promoted by regime officials. It includes threats to crush, kill and torture against the majority of citizens. Shockingly this has come from a main Adviser to the King of Bahrain, in the context of continued demands and protests for an end to dictatorship and democratic transition.Along side the regime officials who are threatening and calling for revenge, there is also a large group of paid writers and supporters to back them up. “There is an urgent need for an international stance on what is being perpetrated, incited and systematically pushed for. The United Nations must take a clear stance to stop the continuous use of excessive force against peaceful protesters in Bahrain. We have suffered the dark days of emergency law (so-called national security status) with the worst ever human rights violations, as documented in the BICI report. Including systematic torture, extrajudicial killings, demolishing mosques and shrines, targeting professionals and political dismissals from their jobs and many other violations, which practically prove the serious absence of state.These violations revealed the awful face of the inhumane approach adopted by the authorities in Bahrain; where there are no laws or legislation but only vindictiveness and hostility against pro-democracy and anti-authoritarianism popular struggle.Al Wefaq will consider the international silence and unclear stances on the repression in Bahrain as a green light for more human rights violations and a stand on the wrong side of history. The international community must call for an immediate stop to all kinds of repressive measures against peaceful protesters; and call the government of Bahrain to adhere to its international obligations and start to swiftly start a real and inclusive democratic transition that will positively respond to the people’s legitimate aspirations of justice, equality and fair political representation./129
