Parallel to the continuation of the Caliphate rule are many harmful phenomena, of which three issues have emerged within the latest interval: The primary is that persecution, repression, and injustice are practices that can proceed with out stopping below the Caliphate rule. The second: proscribing the non secular freedoms accessible to residents, and the third: strengthening relations with the Israeli occupation. These developments affirm the damaging indisputable fact that reforming the Caliphate rule within the foreseeable future will not be doable, and that counting on involvement inside the Caliphate political mission to reform it from inside has turn into an outdated tune with no horizon for reaching it after the failure of all makes an attempt inside this framework. These information affirm the need of working onerous for change to make sure a greater future, if not for the present era, then for future generations.
To make clear the above, the next could be said: The very first thing is that persecution is a central coverage of the Caliphate regime on a everlasting foundation as a result of it believes that the indigenous Bahrainis (Shiites and Sunnis) won’t ever undergo its dictates, won’t settle for absolute rule, and won’t give up to makes an attempt to vary their will and their position in political decision-making. This persecution has many implications: the primary of which is the confiscation of freedom of speech and deeming those that train their proper to expression exterior the regulation. Subsequently, Al-Khulaifi denies the existence of political prisoners and insists that the detainees have been absent in prisons as a result of they dedicated what he considers a “crime.” It’s recognized that the overwhelming majority of political prisoners who remained behind bars for greater than 13 years clearly expressed their opposition to the Caliph regime and insisted on their calls for for change and democratic transformation. That is what they did in 2011 and have continued for the previous 13 years. They demand professional political rights acknowledged by worldwide conventions, primarily based on a structure written by the individuals, below which an elected parliament will likely be established, leading to a free authorities. Right here, expressing one’s opinion and place, whether or not by an announcement or political protest and collaborating in demonstrations and sit-ins, has turn into a criminal offense, in keeping with Al-Khalifa’s evaluation. What crime was dedicated by the 1000’s of residents who have been arrested, led by symbols of the individuals who have been lacking behind bars? Did they do something aside from name for professional political change, and expressed this in statements to the plenty and to the media? Why have been they imprisoned for all this era and subjected to horrific, brutal and sadistic abuse? It’s an unparalleled persecution, carried out by the Caliphate regime immediately on orders from the royal palace. Regardless of what number of authoritarian statements are issued claiming the tip of the interval of persecution, it’s sure that it’s going to proceed within the foreseeable future. It isn’t a brand new follow, however reasonably a continuation of an outdated coverage that was the strongest pillar of the Caliphate regime perched on the chests of the individuals of Bahrain.
The second matter: Regardless of what the Khalifa authorities claims and the media and its politicians promote, non secular freedom will not be accessible in Bahrain, particularly for indigenous Shiite and Sunni residents. The regime practices the coverage of “throwing ashes within the eyes,” constructing temples for non-Muslims, pretending to help Christians, and constructing locations of worship for Jews, however on the similar time it’s tightening its grip on the indigenous inhabitants due to their insistence on political change. Just lately, he imposed a regulation requiring anybody wishing to go to the holy locations in Iraq, Iran, and Syria to acquire what he calls a safety allow, with out which they can not go to the holy shrines in Karbala, Najaf al-Ashraf, Kadhmin, Samarra, Holy Qom, and Mashhad. This situation got here after the regime introduced the opening of the airline between Bahrain and Najaf. He used this to persuade the governments of Iraq and Iran that he cared in regards to the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants, who have been worshipers of the Jaafari doctrine, and he thought-about this a justification for creating his relations with the 2 international locations. The hope is that this cleverness will result in the publicity of the ugly plan concentrating on indigenous individuals. What does a safety clearance imply for somebody who needs to go to the shrines of Muslim imams? What safety threat do they pose? This situation is meant to arouse the ire of the governments of Iraq and Iran as a result of it implies that they’ll permit the safety of Bahrain to be disturbed, and can use guests for that goal. It’s a severe accusation, and the 2 governments mustn’t solely deny it, however reply decisively to the Al-Khalifa’s place that’s per the Israeli allegations that these international locations threaten the safety of… Israeli occupation. Bahraini guests are recognized for his or her religion, love of their nation, adherence to the regulation, inclination for safety and peace, and rejection of violence, no matter its supply. The hope is that these wishing to go to will refuse to acquire the “safety allow,” as that is the way in which to thwart it to be able to facilitate visiting the holy shrines.
The third matter: In parallel with the Khalifa regime’s pretense of openness to Iran and Iraq, it seeks to develop its relations with the Israeli occupation regime, particularly after it acknowledged it, established diplomatic relations with it, exchanged ambassadors with it, and allowed its safety specialists to be current on Bahraini soil to assist it in opposition to the individuals. Even supposing the Khalifa regime will not be essential in actuality, their transfer to normalize relations with “Israel” broke the psychological barrier between the Gulf Cooperation Council international locations and the occupation regime. This inspired Saudi Arabia to maneuver in direction of normalizing relations with the occupation entity within the subsequent part. If this occurs, it is going to be a psychological, ethical, and political blow to the Arab boycott mission that has been in place for greater than three-quarters of a century because the occupation started in Palestine. Thus, the Khalifa tyrant has turn into one of many keys to openness to the Zionists, who haven’t ceased to kill the individuals of Palestine, abuse the residents of Gaza, and kill its males, girls, and kids with out accountability. Not a day goes by with out them killing dozens of them as if they’re nugatory. It has reached the purpose the place killing has turn into odd and uninteresting. Nevertheless, world consciousness of what’s taking place in Gaza is pushing hundreds of thousands of free individuals all over the world to take to the streets in weekly demonstrations in Western capitals and cities. These protests, that are increasing steadily, are prone to stress Western insurance policies in opposition to the occupation. Our individuals in Bahrain have turn into conscious of this truth, and have continued their demonstrations in help of Palestine and in rejection of the continued Israeli aggression in opposition to its individuals. Nevertheless, they haven’t been spared from Khalifa’s oppression. As quickly as a gaggle of protesters emerges, the Khalifa’s safety forces confront them with oppression and arrest. And there are numerous sentences issued in opposition to younger individuals who participated in these protests. When an individual is imprisoned for 3 months by order of the Khalifa courts for collaborating in an indication in help of Palestine and in opposition to the aggression on Gaza, this, in keeping with the Khalifa’s evaluation, is prone to deter others from collaborating in protests in help of Palestine.
These three issues are placing stress on the Bahraini state of affairs nowadays, and pushing residents to proceed the battle that their ancestors started for change that results in freedom and dignity, and restores to Bahrain its sovereignty that the Khalifas handed over to foreigners. The battle right here will not be stubbornness, fanaticism, or a need to disturb the ambiance, however reasonably a necessity required by the nationwide curiosity and required by the mission of constructing a contemporary state primarily based on establishments and never on people, whose reins are managed by the individuals by their elected representatives, and never by the renegade Caliph home that betrayed God, His Messenger, the nation, the homeland, and the individuals. It is a vital historic second within the historical past of the nationwide battle, and we hope that free individuals and activists from all nationwide factions will take part in it, as that is an honor for the contributors, satisfaction for the homeland, help for freedom, and a step on the trail to establishing the rule of regulation. We name on everybody to take part in supporting the battle that has continued because it started greater than 100 years in the past, and whose reverberations have reverberated from Bahrain to St. Helena, and whose banner has been carried by Bahraini activists from all ideological and political backgrounds. Will probably be victorious, God keen, if it receives nationwide help primarily based on consciousness, sincerity of intention, and in search of the face of God solely.
Oh God, have mercy on our righteous martyrs, give them a spot of sincerity earlier than You, and launch the chains of our prisoners, O Lord of the Worlds.
