Hezbollah Condemns Bahrain’s Suppression of Protesters, Calls for Policy Review
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Hezbollah in Lebanon has issued a statement strongly condemning the Bahraini government’s suppression of its people and calling for a review of its approach towards them. Hezbollah stated that while the United States and Israel are encroaching upon the region, undermining security, and seeking to redraw regional maps to serve Israeli interests, efforts should instead be focused on confronting this aggression, strengthening regional solidarity and cooperation, and fostering unity between governments and their people.
The Lebanese resistance group further asserted that the Bahraini regime is intolerant of protests by segments of its society against policies of dependency and defiance, policies pursued against the will of the people and at the expense of their interests. Hezbollah emphasized that the nations of the Islamic ummah should justly support the people of Bahrain and amplify their voices to expose their oppression, noting that the government is suppressing their peaceful protests. According to Hezbollah, the outcry from the people of Bahrain signifies their opposition to their country being transformed into a base for American and Zionist aggression and a stage for the continuation of injustice.
The statement detailed that arbitrary actions and political detentions against clerics, elites, and citizens of Bahrain, along with forced expulsions, revocation of citizenship, and the issuance of death sentences and prison terms for hundreds of clerics and citizens, are manifestations of tyranny that are unacceptable and condemned from both humanitarian and political perspectives. These actions, the group stated, foster perpetual concern and serve only the interests of adversaries.
Hezbollah concluded by declaring that the Lebanese people, who resist Israeli occupation, condemn the political oppression against their brethren in Bahrain and call for a reconsideration of the methods used in dealing with them, expressing hope for the establishment of security, stability, and internal reconciliation in Bahrain.
