Opposition Leader: Peaceful Revolution to Continue

Secretary General of Bahrain’s main opposition party al-Wefaq National Islamic Society emphasized that the peaceful revolution in the country should be continued.

Sheikh Ali Salman said the Bahraini opposition is against violence and will do its best to avoid it.
He made the comments in an exclusive interview with the Tasnim News Agency on Sunday.
The opposition figure also pointed to the upcoming parliamentary elections in the Persian Gulf state and said most of Bahraini people will embargo the “symbolic” vote.
The Bahraini People have held protests across the country calling for the boycott of the parliamentary elections, due to be held on November 22.
The polls will be the first since protests broke out in the Arab country more than three years ago.
Since mid-February 2011, thousands of protesters have held numerous demonstrations in the streets of Bahrain, calling on the Al Khalifa royal family to step down from power. The protesters have also slammed the Manama regime’s arrest and torture of political activists.
Many Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds injured and arrested in the ongoing crackdown on peaceful demonstrations.
