Iran's Influential Political Council Condemns Suppression of Bahraini People

TEHRAN ,April 26 (FNA)- A prominent Iranian political council blasted the brutal suppression of peaceful demonstrations in Bahrain, and voiced support for the Bahraini people in their call for a basic change in the Persian Gulf island's ruling system.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Council for Coordination among the Islamic Revolution Forces strongly condemned the brutality shown by Manama rulers against peaceful demonstrators, specially the women.

The statement added that the recent murder of a young poet in detention set a clear example of Manama's brutality.

A female Bahraini activist who had composed anti-government poems was killed, after being arrested and raped by the Manama forces.

Ayat al-Ghermezi, 20, had recited her poems, in which she slammed the ruling regime and Bahraini Prime Minister during protests in Pearl Square in the capital city, Manama,

On Saturday, the Muslim Women Movement in a statement protested at the brutal and cruel behavior of the Bahraini regime towards women in the country, and revealed that the Al-Khalifa regime has imprisoned innocent pregnant women in horrible dungeons.

"They keep pregnant women in terrifying prisons, martyr their husbands under torture and attack people's homes at night and create panic and horror," the statement said, addressing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.

The statement condemned the silence shown by the international organizations on the massacre of the Bahraini and Yemeni people by their tyrannical rulers, and said "Hundreds of the Yemeni and Bahraini women are in prison for the ambitions of their bullying rulers."

Bahraini security forces are using inhumane tactics, including various torture techniques, to suppress the popular uprising in the Persian Gulf state.

Rights activists in Bahrain have repeatedly said that the government's harsh tactics and intimidation against opposition forces cannot smother the popular uprising in the Persian Gulf country.
