Bahraini Activist: US Seeking to Spark Sectarian Strife in Regional Nations to Contain Revolutions
TEHRAN,April 26 (FNA)- A prominent Bahraini right activist on Tuesday cautioned that Washington and Israel are trying to harness revolutions in the Middle-East and North Africa through sparking sectarian strife in the regional countries, specially in Bahrain.
Speaking in an interview with FNA, Abbas al-Omran elaborated on the main cause of the Saudi and Bahraini forces' actions against peaceful protests and destruction of mosques and holy shrines and burning the holy Quran in the tiny Persian Gulf island.
He said that the US and Israel have ordered the Al-Khalifa regime to destroy mosques and shrines and burn the holy Quran in the hope that they could control the Bahraini people's revolution through such violent and threatening reactions.
"I believe that the US and the Zionist regime (of Israel) are trying to sow tension in the region thought the Al-Khalifa's destruction of mosques and shrines," the Bahraini activist noted.
Omran stated that the US and Israel are seeking to suppress the Bahrainis since the Bahraini people's revolution is the next link in the chain of the popular Arab revolutions which started in Tunisia and Egypt and led to the collapse of two dictatorial regimes.
However, Omran stressed that the Bahraini people will continue their revolution and insist on their stances irrespective of all the suppressive methods used by the Bahraini and Saudi forces.
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.
People in Bahrain have been protesting since February 14, demanding an end to the rule of the Al Khalifa dynasty.
Demonstrators maintain that they will hold their ground until their demands for freedom, constitutional reform and a proportional voice in the government are met.
In March, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait deployed their troops in Bahrain to reinforce the brutal armed clampdown against mass protests.
Scores of Bahraini protesters have been killed and many others gone missing in the harsh crackdown since the beginning of the revolution in the Middle- Eastern country.
