TEHRAN (FNA)- The regime in Bahrain is insisting on trying Khalil Al Marzooq, the Political Assistant of Al Wefaq’s Secretary General, for accusations that, his part said, contradict his political views about peaceful struggle for democratic transition.


Al Marzooq is to appear before court on Monday 18 November, 2013 after his release from detention where he had spent 38 days, Alwefaq.net reported.

Al Wefaq National Islamic Society said that Al Marzooq’s trial is politically motivated and lacks credibility considering his trial a prosecution of political activism in Bahrain.

Al Marzooq’s arrest had sparked international condemnation of Bahrain by international rights organizations like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch as well as local and regional organizations.

Al Wefaq stated that the evidence put forward by Al Marzooq’s defense panel are strong enough to close the case which lacked credibility in the first place and is no more than a targeting of the opposition members.
