Bahrainis protest against al-Khalifa regime and oppression

The demonstrators chanted slogans that stresses democracy, justice as well equality, held the photos of the Bahraini victims and detainees and called on the resignation of the Prime Minister.

“We demand the immediate release of all prisoners,” they chanted. 

The concluding statement denounced the oppression and tyranny practiced by the regime and called on releasing all the Bahraini detainees.

Moreover, Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society addressed the Public Prosecution Office in response to the illegal raid carried out by the regime forces. The raid took place amid a security siege on Al-Wefaq offices in Qufool area, in the capital Manama, preventing the Society’s members from reaching the building and barring those who were inside from communicating with their families or anyone outside the building.

Al-Wefaq stressed that the measure taken by the regime is an infringement to the political associations’ law in Article 19 which states that the offices of the Society as well as its documents, posts and communications, are protected by law and it is illegal to spy on a society or confiscate its possessions without a judicial decision. All measures should be taken in accordance to the law. It is against the law to inspect the offices of a society or investigate an alleged crime without a decision made by the General Prosecutor and with the presence of representatives of the Public Prosecution Office and the society. Shall the society’s representative refuse to show up, this will be mentioned in the inspection statement. If these procedures are breached, the inspection and its results are void. By also violating the Criminal Law procedures, which imply the presence of the owner of the real estate, or person in charge, the inspection is considered illegal.
