Leader of Bahrain Freedom Movement Abdul Rauf Shayeb says anti-government protesters will keep up with the rallies until their demands are met.
“We are not going to stop this revolution no matter, what they (the government) are going to use against us,” Shayeb told Press TV.
“We have now reached a point, where there is no way back. We move ahead till we reach our demands,” he added.
Shayeb went on to say that peaceful demonstrations are the main strategy for achieving ultimate goal, stressing that Bahraini opposition groups defy violence in all forms.
Shayeb cautioned that this is while “they (the government) are using all their forces to make the revolution go to a violent narrow way.”
The fact that the revolution belongs to the whole Bahraini nation, Shias and Sunnis, is another key motive contributing to its success, Shayeb added, argueing that by “Bahrainis” he means those who have a real nationality of the country not a political naturalization.
Demonstrators in the Shia-majority Persian Gulf country demand the ouster of the 230-year-old Sunni-led al-Khalifa monarchy as well as constitutional reforms. Bahraini forces along with troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, on the other hand, have stepped up their attacks against protesters.
At least 24 people have been killed and about 1,000 others injured since the anti-government protests started in mid-February.
