Al Wefaq: Bahrain covers up its crimes with the Pope’s visit.
Jamiat al-Wefaq Bahrain emphasized that the authorities of Bahrain intend to take advantage of the Pope’s visit and the situation of rights, freedom and tolerance in this country is extremely critical.
Jamiat al-Wefaq Bahrain, on the occasion of the visit of Pope Francis to this country and the possibility of the Al-Khalifa regime’s abuse of this visit, published a statement and emphasized that the government in Bahrain was not elected by its people.
By publishing this statement on its Twitter page, Al-Wefaq wrote that the Bahraini authorities intend to take advantage of this trip and the situation of rights, freedom and tolerance in this country is extremely critical.
According to this group, by abusing this trip, Al-Khalifa intends to cover up the oppression and religious discrimination, but the prisons of this regime are full of clerics, professors, elites and nationalistic personalities who are subjected to all kinds of torture and humiliation.
Referring to the cruelty of the Bahraini authorities to Ayatollah Isa Qasim, Al-Wefaq stressed that dozens of scholars, including Sheikh Ali Salman, are imprisoned in the prisons of the regime, and tens of thousands of others are victims of political, religious, cultural, social, economic and security discrimination. .
Pointing out that Al-Khalifa violates human rights and public freedoms and fights against the freedom of thought, religion and belief, this association stated at the end that this regime categorically rejected dialogue and all those who want dialogue , punishes and imprisons.
Earlier, 130 organizations and legal centers issued a joint statement asking Pope Francis to encourage the authorities of Al-Khalifa regime in Bahrain to end human rights violations in this country.
This is despite the fact that the Al Khalifa regime, since the beginning of the revolution of the people of Bahrain in 2011, has imprisoned thousands of protesters, journalists and civil activists of this country by conducting various trials, some of which were even collective.
