FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Witnesses said on Wednesday that regime forces fired stun grenades at protesters outside a cultural exhibition for Bahrain’s Formula One race, urging Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, to cancel the sporting event as it did last year.
They also called for the immediate release of jailed rights activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and other political activists.
Veteran activist Nabeel Rajab also took part in the demonstration, chanting anti-government slogans.
Bahrainis have vowed to stage “Days of Rage” during the Formula One Grand Prix, Bahrain’s most high-profile international event scheduled to be held from April 20-22.
Meanwhile, Khawaja’s wife has accused Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone of ignoring her husband’s plight by deciding to go ahead with this weekend’s race in Bahrain.
“I am not angry with the government…it’s their future at stake. What makes me angry is people like Ecclestone who decides to come to Bahrain because he thinks everyone is happy,” Khadijaal-Mousawi told Reuters on Wednesday, adding that the F1 boss had missed a chance to do something to help the Bahrain uprising and her husband Abdulhadi, who has been on hunger strike for more than two months.
Bahraini protesters have repeatedly called for the cancellation of the race over Manama’s brutal crackdown on demonstrations, saying that the return of F1 gives a symbolic stamp of approval to the Al Khalifa regime.
Last year the FIA cancelled the F1 race in Bahrain over nationwide anti-government protests and the suppression that ensued.
