(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The Bahraini authorities have continued to prevent the Shia majority from performing their largest Friday prayers in the Imam Al-Sadiq mosque in Diraz.

Eyewitnesses said that the security forces prevented worshipers and the Imam of Friday prayers from entering the village that has been witnessing a siege since June over the open sit-in outside Sheikh Isa Qassim's house, protesting against the decision that revoked his citizenship.
