Iranian Students Condemn Saudi, Manama Regimes for Crimes in Bahrain
TEHRAN, April 26(FNA)- Iranian school students staged a rally in front of the UN office in Tehran on Tuesday to voice their strong protest against the Saudi and Bahraini rulers' crackdown on peaceful protests and massacre of the defenseless people in Bahrain.
Hundreds of Iranian students who are members of the 'World Student Movement' gathered in front of the UN mission in Tehran, and denounced the silence shown by the international bodies and world powers vis-à-vis the crimes committed in the regional countries, specially in Bahrain.
The Iranian pupils chanted slogans against the continued massacre of the Muslim and defenseless people in Bahrain, including "Saudi Arabia commits crimes, UN supports it" and "Down with the US".
Also, they issued a statement at the end of their rally to condemn the crimes committed by the Saudi and al-Khalifa forces and the support provided by the West for such crimes and submitted a letter to the UN headquarters in Tehran, addressing the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.
Iranians from all walks of life have staged numerous rallies during the last few weeks to shout their support for the popular uprisings in the Middle-East and North Africa and to condemn suppression of peaceful protests by dictatorial regimes in the region.
On Friday, large numbers of Iranian students staged a rally in front of Bahrain's embassy in Tehran to protest at the massacre of peaceful protestors in Bahrain and other Islamic countries in the region.
Demonstrators in Bahrain have been demanding constitutional reforms as well as an end to the 230-year-old monarchy, with hundreds camping out peacefully in the capital's Pearl Square since February 14th.
Bahraini security forces have been brutally suppressing anti-government protesters. So far, at least 40 people have been killed, almost 100 have gone missing and about 1,000 others have been injured.
The violence against protesters escalated when Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar dispatched their armed forces to the country to help Manama crack down on peaceful protesters.
