On Friday, April 26, 2019, the residents held a private prayer at the Mosque of Imam al- Sadiq (AS) in the town of al-Diraz, following the insistence of al-Khalifa regime to ban the largest Friday prayer for the 157th week consecutively.
The mercenaries and civilian militias have been mobilized since the morning at the entrances and around the town to prevent the people from performing one of the major rituals: Friday prayers
This comes within the war launched by al-Khalifa entity against the religious rituals, while it showed up its tolerance with the religions in the international forums to cover up the rush towards normalization with the Zionist entity.
