(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) The Public prosecutor has decided to extend the detention period of the prodemocracy protest organizers which took place on Buday’a Highway west of the capital Manama last Friday. Granting such extended detention proves the regime’s  continuous war against freedom of expression and its nonstop  violations against  the international and even the local laws and covenants.The opposition powers expressed their serious concern over the deoriorating situation of freedom of expression in Bahrain” keeping the protest organizers in custody is a dangerous indication of the regime’s oppressive measures to  impose more restrictions on the peaceful approach of movement . ” the opposition powers said.” The rally took to the streets peacefully and ended peacefully as it was marking 1000 days on the revolution calling for  a real social contract in a state where the people’s will is genuinely represented” the opposition powers added.” As the freedom of expression is widely targeted within an oppressive regime that has been launching brutal crackdowns on its own people, we have addressed The Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression, Assembly , peaceful demonstration and the Special Rapporteur on arbitrary detention” they pointed out.The opposition powers pointed out that one of the detainees needs a special medical care because of his critical health condition .Finally the opposition powers stressed that the people  will continue the peaceful strife until all their legitimate demands are all realized./149
