Bahrain Interior Ministry Summons Opposition Leader
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior summoned on Saturday the secretary general of the main opposition party al-Wefaq National Islamic Society for investigation following the massive anti-regime protests which were held a day ago.
Sheikh Ali Salman, the leader of al-Wefaq society, was summoned by the Bahraini Ministry of Interior to appear on Sunday at the Criminal Investigations Building in al-Adliya district.
Al Khalifa security forces have surrounded Salman’s house while delivering the summons to the opposition leader, Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society website reported.
“It is a dangerous and unacceptable measure by the regime to target Sheikh Ali Salman,” the opposition group said.
Al-Wefaq society also emphasized that the massive anti-regime protests by Bahraini people on Friday have angered Al Khalifa regime.
Since mid-February 2011, thousands of protesters have held numerous demonstrations in the streets of Bahrain, calling on the Al Khalifa royal family to step down from power. The protesters have also slammed the Manama regime’s arrest and torture of political activists.
Since then, many Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds injured and arrested in the ongoing crackdown on peaceful demonstrations.
