Salam for Democracy and Human Rights issued a report about the issue of stripping Bahraini citizens of their nationalities as punishment against the political stances they take. This retaliation has increased over the past 4 years, with Bahrainis, whose citizenships were revoked, reaching 807.

Bahrain police say they’ve launched an operation targeting a town where a sit-in has been going on for months supporting a prominent Shiite cleric who had his citizenship stripped by the government.

Activists on social media outlets called for massive protests today, on the eve of the sentence hearing of spiritual leader for Shiite majority, Sheikh Isa Qassim.

Spokesman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Sayyed Hossein Naqvi Hosseini, said that the Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif’s visit to Qatar was to discuss the case of Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim and demands of Bahraini people.

Hundreds of citizens continued their open-ended sit-in held outside the house of the spiritual leader of Shia majority Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, on the night of Thursday (February 16, 2017) despite the heavy rains the country is witnessing since 2 days.
