“The disastrous political naturalization we’re talking about is giving out the Bahraini nationality to tens of thousands of foreigners, against the law under an exceptional term”, Sheikh Ali Salman said. The Secretary General of Al Wefaq National Islamic Society said Bahrain is carrying out a planned mass naturalization that does not aim to serve the development or national unity in Bahrain. “I have not heard of a country that does this other than Bahrain”, he added.
Salman said, ”The Bahraini image we love is respected and known for its kind tolerant civilian people but this destructive project is ripping that image and harming Shiites, Sunnis and all religions and sects in Bahrain. The Bahrainis need to stand united to stop this project and put their political disputes aside for the sake of their homeland”.
“No for the illegal naturalization”, he stressed, “Bahraini citizens must have access to all their rights. They shouldn’t have to wait 20 years for housing, they should have access to adequate healthcare. We shouldn’t have over 40 pupils in one classroom in a country where its citizens are supposed to live in prosperity. Naturalization is ruining the future of Bahrain and we all have to stand together.. Bahrainis, against naturalization”.
