Unjust siege on the villages of Bahrain upon discussing a union with Saudi Arabia
This happened on the eve that the gulf leaders discussed a number of critical files and the possibility of establishing some sort of union between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

On Friday, a senior Gulf official said that "a kind of union between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain," the largest and smallest of the Gulf States, will be discussed during the summit.

Meanwhile, Bahraini villages and areas spent a night of severe repression and were suffocated by tear gas under a stressful political and security situation in the smallest Gulf Arab state.
The Secretary-General of Al Wefaq National Islamic Society in Bahrain, Sheikh Ali Salman, considered that what has been leaked to the media regarding the unity between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Bahrain is in reality "a negligence of the independence of Bahrain".

On International Day of Nursing festival, Salman explained in his speech that "Bahrain gained independence after a referendum led by the Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations to resolve the dispute between Iran and Bahrain on the dependence or independence of the island."

He stressed that "the people of Bahrain voted on the title of Independence, and thus in Bahrain - exceptionally - independence wasn’t achieved by Al-Khalifa family, but by the people of Bahrain who are the only ones who have the right to act and talk about its independence or dependence; No other authority including Al-Khalifa family have the right to form this Unity.

Salman continued: "Your decision is null and your claim regarding the presence of a Parliament representing people is an unacceptable lie, thus your decision is void and is not based on any legitimate basis."

For his part, the Prime Minister “His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa” said that the challenges arising from the "exceptional" circumstances makes the Gulf union an "urgent" matter, calling for the establishment of a unified security system to protect the Gulf States.

He stressed that the priority of the Gulf is "concentrated at this stage to achieve and ensure security in its broadest sense, and increase coordination in areas of security, military and defense by adopting a unified Gulf security system protecting the Gulf States."
