SANA’A (Dispatches) – Hundreds of Bahrainis have once again staged demonstrations to protest against the Manama regime’s normalization of ties with the Zionist regime and to demand the immediate release of political prisoners.
Bahrainis held a rally in the village of Sanabis late on Tuesday to voice strong protest against Manama’s concession to the Zionist regime and the opening of Tel Aviv’s embassy in the Persian Gulf country.
The demonstrators condemned the ruling Al Khalifah regime for making peace with occupying regime and reiterated their support for the Palestinian cause.
They carried signs that read, “Normalization of relations [with the Zionist regime] amounts to treason.”
They also renewed the call for Manama to release political prisoners from its jails immediately and unconditionally.
On September 30, Zionist foreign minister Yair Lapid arrived at the Manama airport to become the regime’s highest-ranking official to visit the Persian Gulf country since the occupying regime and Bahrain forged formal relations last year.
He met King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifah and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifah.
The Bahraini embassy in the occupied territories was agreed to be opened by the end of 2021.
Former Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed agreements with Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani during an official ceremony hosted by ex-U.S. president Donald Trump at the White House on September 15 last year.
Palestinians, who seek an independent state in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip with East Al-Quds as its capital, view the deals as a betrayal of their cause.
Moreover, dozens of Bahraini people staged anti-regime rallies on Tuesday night in the northern villages of Abu Saiba and Shakhura in solidarity with political prisoners.
During the demonstrations, the protesters condemned the Al Khalifah regime’s intensified clampdown on political inmates being kept at various detention conditions across the Persian Gulf country.
They held up placards that read “Save Bahraini Prisoners” and “No retreat from political demands.”
