Hezbollah Slams Bahraini Regime’s Raid on Shia Leader’s House
In a statement released on Tuesday, Hezbollah also reiterated its support for Bahraini people’s uprising.
Tens of security forces entered the house of Ayatollah Qassem early on Tuesday morning and started searching the house and destroying the family’s belongings.
Bahrain’s opposition groups have also condemned the ‘barbaric’ attack.
On Tuesday night, angry Bahraini protesters took to the streets in Duraz and Sadad regions of Manama to condemn the raid.
The attack on the house of the Shia cleric was a reaction to the failure of the sham parliamentary elections.
The opposition groups boycotted the parliamentary elections held on Saturday and instead conducted an anti-regime referendum across the Persian Gulf country from Friday to Saturday.
The Bahraini monarchy has been ruled by the Khalifa dynasty since 1783, in a country where the Shia Muslim community accounts for nearly 70 percent of the entire population.
Anti-regime protests have been underway in Bahrain almost on a regular basis since 2011.
The protesters demand the establishment of a democratically-elected government and an end to the regime crackdown.
Scores of people have been killed and many others put behind the bars in the Saudi-backed clampdown during the past three years.
