Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini authorities continued its siege in Diraz that has been imposed since over 4 months. The authorities also continued to prevent the Shia majority from performing their largest Friday prayer in the Imam Al-Sadiq mosque in Diraz.
Activists said that the authorities did not allow the Imam of Friday prayer to enter the village and prevented dozens of citizens from entering as well, under the pretext that they do not live in Diraz.
Worshipers performed the Friday prayer in Imam Al-Sadiq mosque separately (without being led by Imam). It is to mention that the Friday congregational prayer has been brought to a halt since 15 weeks.
The authorities have been imposing a siege on Diraz since over 4 months based on the open sit-in outside Sheikh Isa Qassim's house, protesting against the decision that revoked his citizenship.
