On Friday, May 17, 2019, the residents have held a private prayer at Imam Sadiq Mosque in the town of Diraz after al-Khalifa regime insisted on preventing the largest Friday prayer for the 160th week, respectively.
The mercenaries and civilian militias have been mobilized since the morning at the entrances and around the town to prevent people from performing one of the major rituals: Friday prayers.
This comes as an attempt to subdue the rituals of religion by al-Khalifa entity, that declares its tolerance with religions at the international forums to cover up its rush towards normalization with the Zionist entity, in addition to its continuous restrictions on the right of Bahrainis, especially the detainees of opinion.
