AhlulBayt News Agency - Rapporteur of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini blasted the al-Khalifa regime for revoking Shiite cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Qassim's citizenship, and said the measure will spark a major revolution in Bahrain.
"Stripping a citizen of citizenship for criticism and protest at the government's performance will lead the protests towards revolutionary moves and the protests will turn into a revolution," Naqavi Hosseini told FNA on Tuesday.
"When a citizen is revoked of citizenship, it means that the government has drawn a finish line for talks between the opposition and the regime and the opposition forces should resort to other solutions, including revolution, and certainly formation of such a move will lead to the al-Khalifa's annihilation," he added.
Naqavi Hosseini called on the Bahraini government to opt for talks and pursue materialization of people's demands instead of resorting to violent and anti-human rights measures.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry announced in a statement yesterday the country's top Shiite cleric was stripped of his citizenship.
