The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said today that Bahraini authorities should make serious political reforms in response to people’s will. The first demand is to dismiss the cabinet and set a new constitution to declare Bahrain a constitutional monarchy.

The Bahraini authorities made some talks with protesters and released activists charged of fabricated terror charges and ignored the rest of the demands ,dismissing the cabinet and media reforms. Baharaini media has for so long distorted the democratic reform movement and describing it as sectarian. As well, blocking policy is still deployed extensively which blows all formal reforms.

The Lebanese artist , Marcel Khalifa was attacked by the Bahraini ministry of culture when he declined on the spring festival in Bahrain, saying that he would never betray call of millions against oppression and death.

The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said, “ Bahrain is experiencing a public reform movement calling for democracy. The Saudi family is shamed for their oppressive policy , they are just making it worse by defying the Bahrainin people’s will and sending Saudi mercenaries to support Bahraini authorities instead of supporting the people’s demands or at least stand neutral”.
