Bahrain Mirror: Mass protests kicked off in difference areas in Bahrain, expressing solidarity with the Shiite majority spiritual leader, Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, on the night of his trial (Tuesday November 22, 2016).

Protesters called against the sectarian persecution faced by the Shiites, and demanded that a line bi drawn to limit the Al Khalifa power, and end the sectarian discrimination against Shiites.

In addition, protesters demanded the restoration of Sheikh Qassim's citizenship, reiterating their condemnation against trying Sheikh Qassim over a Shiite religious ritual, believing this trial is political and vexatious.
