BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Several political rights are absent in Bahrain, and widespread violations undermine political and human rights efforts, such as banning assembly, persecuting political activists, and isolating the opposition, the Bahraini Al-Wefaq Society said Saturday.

In a report published under the title "The Restricted Political Environment in Bahrain", the association shed light on the political and human rights situation in Bahrain, with the Inter-Parliamentary Union meetings scheduled to be held in Manama from 11 to 15 March.

The report stresses that security violations affected 15 former MPs, who were targeted by the authorities in Bahrain because of exercising their right to freedom of expression.

At the forefront of those targeted are the Secretary-General of Al-Wefaq Society, Sheikh Ali Salman, and the former deputy, Sheikh Hassan Issa, who are still "under arbitrary detention after political trials."

Al-Wefaq indicated that the number of those who have been subjected to arbitrary arrests since 2011 has exceeded 14,000 citizens, while the ban on peaceful assembly has been in effect for 1,513 days.

Earlier, the Al-Wefaq Society confirmed that the audio recordings of dozens of political prisoners in the Bahraini regime's prison indicate that their living conditions are difficult and poor, due to an unhealthy environment, denial of necessary treatment, and humiliating treatment.

The association clarified that political prisoners in Bahrain were arrested, tortured, and given long sentences, adding that their nationalities were revoked and that they were isolated politically and civilly just because they demand democracy, justice, freedom, and the respect of human rights.
