Saudi scholar blasts Bahrain government’s clampdown on protesters promising that “ the Bahraini people will win definitely at the end of the day.”

“The demands of Bahraini people are in conformity with democratic principles and their victory is eminent,” Sheikh Abdul Karim al-Habil, Saudi Kingdom’s Qateef city Imam said.

He praised the high-turnout of Bahraini people in protests, saying that more than ۶۰ pc of Bahrain nationals have attended the anti-government demonstrations.

In another development, al-Habil also called on Saudi Kingdom to free the prisoners who are held for more than sixteen years immediately.
