More restrictions imposed on freedom of expression by the Bahraini regime
22 July, 2013 – ABNA

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) – The National Democratic Opposition Parties in Bahrain condemned the arbitrary measures taken by the regime against the people by banning pro-democracy protests and imposing more restriction on the right of assembly to prevent the people from calling for their rights.

The opposition parties stated that the right to protest in the capital Manama has been absolutely banned by the regime as it is now completely forbidding the people from their right to protest and assemble.

On Friday 19th, the regime banned two peaceful protests organized by the opposition parties in Bahrain. By this, tge regime is imposing more suffocating measures on the freedom of expression in the country.

The opposition parties stressed the ban on protests is unlawful and unconstitutional and is a form of oppression where the law used to punish dissidents. This is completely unacceptable, the opposition said.

The right to protest is a humanitarian right that is guaranteed by international covenants and laws and cannot be confiscated by the Authority nor any other party, the opposition democratic parties added.

The ban comes in the context of the repressive security escalation and campaign of incitement.

The opposition parties pointed out that all Bahrainis have the right to protest and to express their opinons. The regime adds more human rights violations to its shameful record by the people from exercising their basic humanitarian right to protest for democracy.

Thus, the international community is demanded to take a clear stance on this systematic escalation taken by the regime against the people of Bahrain.
