On Friday, December 6, 2019, people in the town of Deraz performed an individual prayer in the mosque of Imam al-Sadiq “p, as a result of the ban imposed on Friday prayer by Al-Khalifa regime for the 189th week in a row.
This comes as part of the war lunched by Al-Khalifa regime on the rites of religion , at a time it declares at the international forums its tolerance with religions to cover its rush to normalize relations with the Zionist entity. In addition, there was a large series of summons for scholars and preachers based on sectarian charges .
Meanwhile , the regime had prevented the head of the Secular Islamic Council Sayed Majid Al-Mashael from leading prayers in the mosque of Imam al-Sadiq in Deraz city, forcing him to sign a written pledge not to deliver speeches and religious sermons . H.E was informed of this decision after he was summoned by Hamad town police station on Friday, June 7, 2019, as the regime alleged that there is a ban by the so-called “Department of Jaafari Endowment” , as well as another by the Ministry of Interior.
