Manama: The General Authority of Hussaini Processions in Manama has expressed its support for the measures undertaken by the Ministry of Interior and security authorities to safeguard the security and stability of the Kingdom of Bahrain. These efforts aim to preserve national achievements and address any acts that could undermine civil peace or affect social cohesion, under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and with the support of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the authority has shown support for the legal actions taken by the relevant authorities following the uncovering of a group linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the ideology of Wilayat al-Faqih. The arrest of 41 individuals linked to this group has been a significant step in maintaining national security.
The authority emphasized that Hussaini platforms and religious processions remain focused on promoting religious, ethical, and humanitarian values, as well as reinforcing social cohesion, national unity, and coexistence. It also highlighted the importance of keeping religious platforms and rituals free from political tensions or activities that could compromise national security and stability, stressing their role in promoting national values, social responsibility, and public awareness.
The statement reaffirmed support for the leadership and for measures aimed at preserving Bahrain's security, stability, sovereignty, and national unity. The statement was issued by a number of Manama Maatams (community centres) and Hussaini processions.
