Bahraini Politician: Collapse of Al-Khalifa Regime Imminent
TEHRAN (FNA)- Member of the Bahrain Freedom Movement Saeed al-Shihabi underlined that the Bahraini people will soon embrace victory in their campaign against the tyranny of their rulers and the al-Khalifa regime will collapse within the next few weeks.
"The developments in Manama have intensified and I believe that the developments in the country will likely lead to an end to the Saudi occupation and the collapse of the al-Khalifa regime in the next few weeks," Shihabi told FNA on Sunday.
He referred to the Bahraini opposition groups' call on the people to resume their protests and demonstrations, and said that the February 14 Youth Movement (a main opposition to the Manama regime) will continue its campaign until it achieves its demands and the al-Khalifa regime is overthrown.
Shihabi called on the Bahraini officials and rulers to step down before being ousted by the people of the country.
Protests in Bahrain escalated after a 15-year old teenager died in the country on Wednesday after being hit by a tear gas canister fired by the security forces during anti-government protests.
Witnesses said that the victim, identified as Ali Jawad, was hit in the head by a tear gas canister fired from close range.
Iran strongly condemned the killing of the teenage protester by the Bahraini security forces, and called on Manama to meet the Bahraini people's legitimate demands.
"The martyrdom of a teenager in Bahrain on the day of the greatest Muslim celebration (Eid al-Fitr) cannot be justified by any means or logic," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Friday.
