"News on deterioration in health of Ayatollah Qassem has worried Muslim nation
as well as its leaders,” Ayatollah Araki said Wednesday in a statement.
Ayatollah Araki called for immediate lift of siege imposed by Bahrain regime
forces on Ayatollah Qassem’s house in Diraz.
"We hold the government of Bahrain responsibility of any harm inflicted on his
eminence (Ayatollah Qassem),” said the Iranian cleric, who is also a member of
the Assembly of Experts in the Islamic Republic.
"We advise the Bahraini government to meet the demands of its oppressed people
and to quit its arbitrary policy aimed against leaders of this firm people.”
Ayatollah Araki concluded his statement as saying: "We remind the Bahraini
government that it must take lessons from what happened to tyrants of our era
like Saddam Hussein, (Iran’s) Shah and others.”
