The representative of Ayatollah Isa Qassim in Iran referred to the recent events occurring in the Iraqi city of Fallujah and the victories of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq as well as the victories of the Syrian army in Aleppo, saying these victories have led to the defeat of Saudi Arabia on these fronts and they have now increased their efforts in Bahrain and Yemen.
He explained that in order to keep religious scholars and clerics out of politics and the political life of the country, the Al Khalifah regime has done a lot of planning. In this regard, several steps had been taken and one of them is a ban on religious scholars from joining political groups or engaging in political activities, as well as banning of mosques and charitable organizations from engaging in political issues.
Thus, the extension of Sheikh Ali Salman’s prison sentence was born out of the recent failures and setbacks by Saudi Arabia in the region. “The reprisals on Bahraini religious scholars and also the intensified pressure on religious scholars is aimed at removing them from the political arena,” he said.
