Please everyone, make dua for our brothers and sisters in Bahrain. They are under severe persecution and need our dua’s inshAllah. 

Citizens of Bahrain are currently under attack by their government. Children and women are being kidnapped by police and homes are being raided for supporting the pro-democracy protesters.

The Bahrain uprising began a year ago. The protesters selected 14 February as a day of protest to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the National Action Charter. A month later on 15 March, the government began a retaliatory “crackdown” when the protest became inconvenient.

On November 23, 2011, the& Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry released its report on human rights violations during the February and March 2011 protests, finding that the government “systematically” tortured prisoners, summarily fired Shi’ite employees and university students, and committed other gross human rights violations.

Clashes have continued in districts populated by Shi’ites but have worsened in recent weeks as the anniversary approaches.

Shi’ites say the government uses foreign police hires, mainly from Pakistan, who they face in clashes.

We need to show our support for Bahrain protesters as we did with Egypt. We need to empower them and expose their corrupt monarchy to the world.
