“This time they have acted to revoke the citizenship the leader of the Shi’as of Bahrain while the conventions of the United Nations say that no nation can revoke citizenship of its citizens,” he said.

His Eminence added that this disgraceful and abhorrent act by the Al Khalifah was followed a show of anger and hatred by the people of Bahrain and protests by the Shi’a religious authorities and people of the world.

“Bahrain’s rulers know that by their reckless actions, they taken another step towards the overthrow of their dictatorial regime because no one can suppress the people’s demand for their rights by force,” he stressed.
