Recently a so-called election to a supposed parliament was held in the tiny Persian Gulf state of Bahrain by the repressive Aal-e Khalifa minority regime, which has no legitimate claim to these islands and precariously survives in them solely by clinging to the aprons of Britain, the US, and now the illegal Zionist entity.
The regime claimed that 70 percent of the 344,713 eligible voters participated.
Even if we accept the figure to be correct and not exagerated, the question arises: How many of these voters are persons with takfiri tendencies from Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Syria, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh who were recently given citizenship in a bid to change the demography of an overwhelmingly Shi’a Muslim land, many of whose original inhabitants have been expelled and deprived of birthrights?
The fact that the number of eligible voters officially announced by the regime is some 20,000 less than the list of eligible voters released four years earlier in 2018, is testimony to the mounting crimes of the Aal-e Khalifas who are sure that as long as US 5th Fleet is based in Bahrain, and money can silence even Pope Francis of the Catholic sect of Christianity who recently visited Manama, they can continue their state terrorism against the native population.
For the past eleven years prominent Bahraini citizens including religious leaders, academics, and businessmen have been languishing in the dungeons of Bahrain for staging peaceful rallies demanding representative democratic rule.
Some of the prisoners have been executed and several others are awaiting the death penalty, although none of them during protests burned private cars, public buses, and banks or shouted blasphemous slogans and brutally beat to death policemen and passersby – as had unfortunately happened recently in Iran by a group of thugs, terrorists, and traitors.
Yet none of the self-styled advocates of human rights and democracy, such as the US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, etc., have expressed any sympathy for the oppressed people of Bahrain – let alone condemn the Aal-e Khalifa regime for its crimes against humanity – while these very same countries feel no inhibition in crying hoarse against the Islamic Republic of Iran in blatant support of the rioters.
The truth about acute human rights violation by the regime in Manama (as well as in Riyadh) is never mentioned by the media horns of the Zionist-controlled West which never cease to utter the most preposterous lies about Iran, even by some shameless heads of state trying in vain to distort realities – the latest being the seditious tweet of the Canadian prime minister who alleged that 15,000 people have been handed the capital punishment in Iran over the past few days.
After full twelve hours of deliberate disinformation to try to tarnish the image of Islamic Iran through the social media, Justin Trudeau had to eat the humble pie and delete his package of lies.
Glory to God, the cold-blooded killer of native Canadian children (in several hundreds) was further humiliated when facts started emerging of his regime using the Emergencies Act (Canada’s version of martial law) to have peaceful political protesters jailed and their bank accounts and property seized in an extrajudicial manner.
The hypocrite, who never ceases to vilify the Iranian people and heap all sorts of lies against them, is now pushing Bill C-11, an on-line censorship bill that gives CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications), which is the equivalent of the equally undemocratic FCC (Federal Communications Commission) of the US, the power to censor and silence individuals.
The innocent blood of the people of Bahrain (as well as of Iran, including the martyrs of the Shah-e Cheragh Shrine in Shiraz), cannot be cleansed from the hands of the regimes of North America, West Europe, and the Persian Gulf, who turn a blind eye to their sufferings, but finance poisonous propaganda TV channels against Iran and fund terrorists and traitors to indulge in the most abominable crimes against the Iranian people.
