[05 July 2012] Nabeel Rajab Al Khalifa unwilling to stop violence - English Bahraini protesters have held a demonstration in the village of Ma'ameer to condemn the United States for supporting the Al Khalifa regime. Interview with Nabeel Rajab, with the Bahrain Center for Human Rights

An analyst tells Press TV that the international community, especially the United States has been backing the wrong horse; here they have been backing al Khalifa family, the one who has been killing and torturing. Anti-regime protests have been held in several cities across Bahrain as the Al Khalifa regime continues its crackdown on peaceful demonstrations in the country. Bahrain has been gripped by anti-regime demonstrations since February 2011. The Manama regime has been crushing the protests using harsh security tactics that have so far killed dozens of people and injured many more. Many protesters have also been imprisoned since the beginning of the demonstrations last year. Press TV has conducted an interview with Kamel Wazne to further discuss the issue of Bahrain demonstrations.

Amidst an intensifying crackdown on anti-government protesters in the tiny Gulf island Kingdom of Bahrain, President Obama met Tuesday with Crown Prince Salman bin Isa al-Khalifa, a visit that was not announced beforehand. We speak with Nabeel Rajab, president of Bahrain's Center for Human Rights, based in Manama. "We do not see anything that makes us optimistic that the government has the willingness to go for a dialogue with the opposition and to listen to the grievances and demands of the people," says Rajab, noting that soldiers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Bahrain continue to arrest protesters and the doctors treating those injured during pro-democracy demonstrations.

It was in February 2011 when thousands of Bahrainis most of them from the country's Shia majority took to the streets to demand political reform. The Bahraini government reacted to the protests with a mixture of violent repression, and offers of limited concessions. More than seven months later this time in New York City and on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Bahrainis and their supporters gather to call on the government of Hamed Bin Khalifa to end its brutal oppression against its people. While the gathering is a humble one, the demonstrator's voices are loud and clear, they're calling for a free Bahrain for all. The demonstrators stand united in front of the Bahraini mission where the Kingdom's ambassador to the UN is rumored to be having lunch with King Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain. While the ill treatment of the Shia population has made headlines around the world since protests erupted, for many demonstrators here the rally is about upholding core human values, regardless of religious affiliations. Hussain Abdullah, Director of the advocacy group Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain says the majority of the population are living under state oppression and the government needs to know that the voices of reason will not remain silent. With posters and banners in hand and the Bahraini flag raised in the air the demonstrators hope gatherings like these big or small will garner the attention and support of the international community.

All political prisoners must be released for a national dialogue to occur between the Western-backed Bahraini regime and the opposition, an analyst says. “If you want a dialogue, you need to start from the basis that all political prisoners need to be freed,” Raza Kazim, from the Islamic Human Rights Commission in London, said in an interview with Press TV. The ruling regime in Bahrain has called for a fresh round of talks with the opposition after months of brutal crackdown on protesters, demanding an end to Al Khalifa dynasty, which has ruled the country for over 40 years.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Saeed Shehabi, from the Bahrain Freedom Movement, about Bahrain\'s opposition condemning the recent bomb attack on a mosque in Riffa, the kingdom\'s second largest city, dismissing allegations of involvement in the attack. He mentioned: \"it is clear that the regime was behind it because Bahrainis first of all are not inclined towards violence. The violence is done by the regime who killed more than hundred and forty people while none of the Al Khalifa members has ever been injured in the past two hundred years.\"

In Bahrain, tens of thousands of demonstrators pour onto the streets to protest against the regime\'s crackdown on dissident. The march was called by Bahrain\'s main opposition group al-Wefaq.
