Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini clerics called on the citizens of Bahrain to stage mass protests, next Friday, under the slogan "We will Not Leave the Secretary-General" to express their opposition to the "unjust" trial of Sheikh Ali Salman, Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, and to voice their "complete solidarity with Sheikh Ali Salman and all the oppressed prisoners."

The clerics stressed in their statement, on Tuesday, June 9, 2015, that Sheikh Ali Salman "is a religious and national figure. He is the example of peacefulness and is determined to protect national and Islamic unity. He is the symbol of a civilized and just peaceful movement."

"We will not leave the secretary general, because we will not abandon our conscious, principles and objectives to achieve reform for the sake of the people and country. We will not leave him because he is the people's conscience, so when he is targeted every citizen who seeks reform is targeted as well. His trial is considered a trial against the people's freedom, demands and aims. Any unjust or unfair treatment he is subjected to is reflected on the people and the whole country," they added.

"The people are absolutely sure that the Secretary-General (of Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society) is innocent of all the charges fabricated against him. All the parties and free human rights figures in the world support him", the clerics further stated, demanding "his immediate release, and to put an end to this malicious political trial and close this case."
