Alwaght- Bahraini regime forces took down flags and banners for Ashura season which is commemorated by Shiite majority in the country during the first ten days of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic Hijri calender.
Social media activists posted photos regime forces who were roaming through the streets of Eskan A'ali to take down any banner or flag related to Ashura.
Bahrain's Shiite majority complains about the discrimination, marginalization and flagrant violation of their freedom of beliefs. Human rights organizations say that the authorities have imposed restrictions on Shiite religious freedom. Since 2001, Bahraini regime forces have attacked Shiite Muslims marking Ashura violating the religious rights of the majority of the Persian Gulf country.
The Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) headed by Cherif Bassiouni and appointed by king, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, documented that the authorities demolished 38 Shiite mosques and committed other violations against the majority in Bahrain.
Since mid-February 2011, thousands of anti-regime protesters have held numerous marches on the streets of Bahrain, calling for Al-Khalifa family to leave power.
Since then many Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds of others were injured or arrested in the ongoing crackdown on peaceful protests.
