Bahrain Mirror: Sheikh Maytham Al-Salman said that condemnations will continue against Bahrain due to committing a massacre against protestors outside Sheikh Isa Qassim's house.
Al-Salman said on his twitter account "The government of Bahrain is wrong if it thinks it succeeded in covering the violations in Diraz. Ongoing condemnations will continue against it in the coming days."
He added "the heinous violations practiced by the Bahraini government in Diraz included extrajudicial killing, which requires disclosing the parties involved in issuing orders to kill protestors."
"If you, the government of Bahrain, were sincere about the bloody Diraz incidents, then allow the international organizations, media and UN groups to visit the country," Al-Salman addressed the government.
He went on to say "the government of Bahrain did not only kill the martyrs of the peaceful protest in Diraz, but only forcibly buried them and prevented them from funeral processions. It also prevented visits to the martyrs' graves and is still imposing surveillance over their graves," stressing that "the martyrs' families have the right to keep on demanding the government of Bahrain to hand them the bodies of their sons and prosecute the parties involved in the forcible burial."
Sheikh Maytham Al-Salman concluded his tweets saying "maybe the government of Bahrain seeks to keep the bodies of Diraz martyrs as Israel did with the bodies of dozens of Arab and Palestinian martyrs."
