WANA (Jul 06) – Bahraini groups attended the funeral ceremony of Iran’s late leader and also held symbolic funeral processions in Bahrain, reaffirming their loyalty to the late leader.

 

The February 14 Revolution Youth Coalition of Bahrain said in a statement on Monday that the proud people of Bahrain were renewing their allegiance to the blood of the late leader by participating in the funeral and burial ceremonies of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, whom the statement described as the Imam of the oppressed.

 

The coalition also stated that the revival of Ashura in Bahrain had neutralized what it described as the “oppressive terrorism.”

 

Various media outlets reported on Monday that despite threats and restrictions imposed by what they described as the Israeli-affiliated groups of Bahrain’s Al Khalifa regime, Bahraini people held symbolic funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the late leader of Iran.

 

According to the reports, although the Al Khalifa regime prevented large numbers of Bahraini citizens from attending the funeral procession of Ayatollah Khamenei, Bahraini participants attended the ceremonies in Tehran, conveyed the condolences of the Bahraini people from the heart of the funeral and farewell ceremonies, and renewed their pledge of allegiance to their leader.

 

Meanwhile, Bahrain’s Islamic Al-Wafa Movement said in a statement that delegations representing Bahraini opposition groups and figures attended an international conference in Tehran on Saturday titled “For Imam Khamenei, the Eternal Leader of the Resistance.”

 

According to the statement, the Bahraini delegation included representatives of political groups based outside Bahrain, including Seyyed Murtadha al-Sanadi, leader of the Islamic Al-Wafa Movement; Sheikh Hussein al-Daihi, deputy secretary-general of Al-Wefaq Islamic Society; Ayatollah Sheikh Abdullah al-Daqqaq, a Bahraini cleric; and Dr. Rashid Al Rashid, a senior official of the Bahrain Amal Movement.

 

They attended the commemoration alongside officials, ambassadors, intellectuals from across the Islamic world, and leaders of the Resistance Front.

 

On the sidelines of the conference, representatives of the Bahraini groups said their participation was intended to express solidarity with the peoples of the region and the Resistance Front, while also honoring what they described as the strategic and historic role of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in supporting oppressed nations.
