Al-Wefaq Secretary General condemns new repressive laws
Bahrain passed a new law in essence preventing all people to demonstrate under cover of national security. 

This come amid calls from activists to organize a huge demonstration on August 14.
Sheikh Salman argues that since such laws are by definition in contradiction with human rights and international standards they should be rendered void.
 
Several human rights organizations -- Human Rights International and Amnesty International -- have already slammed Bahrain government for putting such restraints on its citizens and by criminalizing one's right to free expression.
