Bahrain Mirror: Al-Wefaq Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Hussein Al-Daihi responded to the Interior Minister Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa saying that "Sectarian persecution, humiliation, and weakening of the Shiite community in Bahrain with trivial titles and pretexts must stop."
Al-Daihi's comment came in response to the Interior Minister statement on Thursday (July 20, 2023) that Bahrain "doesn't need foreign preachers and chanters," adding that "the Kingdom has qualified Ashoura chanters who are always ready to take up their religious responsibilities."
The Interior Minister said during his meeting with Chairman of the Jaffari Endowments Directorate, Yousif Saleh Al Saleh, members of Hussainiya Processions Authority and heads of Mattams (Community Centres) that "Bahrain isn't a religious tourism destination, and Ashoura rituals are for mourners in Bahrain."
