On 2011 Uprising Anniversary, Bahrain’s Top Cleric Urges Nation to Continue Struggle
News - Middle East: On the 13th anniversary of the popular uprising against the ruling Al Khalifah dynasty, Bahrain’s most prominent cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim has called on the nation to press ahead with the resistance against the US-backed monarchical regime in Manama.
Delivering a televised speech during a ceremony in Iran’s holy city of Qom on Wednesday, February 14, the day Bahrain’s uprising took shape in 2011, Sheikh Qassim called on the Bahrainis to double down on efforts for change.
“The Bahraini nation will eventually emerge victorious, get rid of the American influence and corruption, and attain complete independence.”
He said the Bahraini nation cannot be defeated as they are determined in their struggle, and will not back down from their legitimate demands by any means.
Sheikh Qassim underlined that the Bahrainis will remain a glorious nation, irrespective of the pro-Western policies of the Al Khalifah regime.
