Activists calls for mass protests on eve of Sheikh Isa Qassim’s verdict

SHAFAQNA – Activists on social media outlets called for massive protests today, on the eve of the sentence hearing of spiritual leader for Shiite majority, Sheikh Isa Qassim.

A preliminary sentence is expected to be issued against Sheikh Qassim tomorrow (Sunday, May 7, 2017).

Since June 2016, the Bahraini authorities have launched the harshest campaign against Shiite majority and opposition in the country since 2011 and revoked the citizenship of Sheikh Isa Qassim without a trial. This act prompted condemnations of Bahrain’s key allies, US and UK.

Thousands of Bahrainis have been protesting outside the house of Sheikh Qassim in Diraz since June 20, 2016, when the authorities revoked his citizenship, which made the authorities impose strict siege on the village resided by over 20 thousands citizens.
