TEHRAN (FNA)- The intimidation and suppression of protesters by the Bahraini regime cannot stop the revolution in the country, a senior Iranian lawmaker said on Sunday, and condemned the Manama forces for their recent raid on the home of leading Shiite cleric Ayatollah Sheikh Issa Qassim.

“The Al Khalifa regime has resorted to intimidation by attacking leaders of the revolution due to its failure to contain popular protests after several months of peaceful protests by the people of Bahrain,” Seyed Mohammad Mehdi Pourfatemi said.

Speaking to ICANA, Pourfatemi stressed the ineffectiveness of suppressive measures on the Bahraini people’s quest for freedom, and noted that the people have prepared themselves to pay any price for their revolution.

As regards the recent attack on Sheikh Qassim’s home, the Iranian lawmaker underlined the Shiite cleric’s popularity among the people, and added that the raid was aimed at intimidating people and revolution leaders.

The Bahraini forces raided Sheikh Issa Qassim’s home in the village of Diraz on Friday and searched the house.

Witnesses said the regime forces broke the doors of Sheikh Qassim’s house and damaged his property.

Women and children of the sheikh’s family were in the house at the time of the raid, but the sheikh was not at home.

Later, thousands of Bahraini protesters marched outside Manama to oppose the al-Khalifa security forces’ attack.

The protesters held pictures of their top religious leader during a protest against the ruling al-Khalifa regime. …source
