“The officials and the members of the February 14th movement believe that the al-Khalifa regime can only be overthrown only by military the method” he added “and that’s why they don’t participate in the wide-spread demonstrations of the Bahraini revolutionaries that are being hold especially on Friday.”

“Al-Khalifa regime forces’ attack to the house of Sheikh Issa Qasim caused unity among the Bahraini protest groups so that the February 14th movement has announced for the first time that they will participate in the peaceful rallies of the up-coming Friday to protest the irreverence of Sheikh Issa Qasim” he declared.
