Bahraini Activists on Twitter: Thank You Sayyed Nasrallah

Local Editor

Bahraini activists have launched a hashtag campaign on Twitter to thank Hizbullah Secretary General Seyyed His Eminence Hassan Nasrallah for supporting the demands of peaceful demonstrators in the tiny Gulf kingdom.


In a letter posted on Twitter on Monday night, dozens of Bahraini activists praised Sayyed Nasrallah's support for their uprising and said the Lebanese resistance movement "didn't hesitate to stand by our demands of justice, freedom and dignity."

Dozens of Bahrainis used a tag dubbed #شكرا_لنصر_الله (Thanks_to_Nasrallah) in their Twitter interactions.

"You always stand by the oppressed people in the world. And your support to the Bahraini people is because that you know very well we are righteous people who are abandoned by the political regimes and the governments which don't care but for its interests," the Bahraini activists addressed Sayyed Nasrallah.

The Bahraini people also said in the letter that they would continue their peaceful protests against the ruling al-Kalifa regime, adding, "We believe that this way is filled with obstacles. However, we will take it."

On January 9, Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the peaceful nature of anti-regime protests in Bahrain during a ceremony marking the birthday of Prophet Mohammad.
His eminence further slammed the detention of Bahraini opposition leader, Sheikh Ali Salman, last month.

"The people of Bahrain have legitimate rights. They decided to launch peaceful revolution in contrary to other movements in the world. They are shot but they didn't shoot (a bullet). They were killed on roads, but they didn't kill anyone and held no knife," Sayyed Nasrallah said.

Bahrain has come under harsh criticism by many human rights groups for its brutal clampdown on peaceful gatherings and numerous cases of human rights violations.
