Ali Khamenei: People of Bahrain Have the Right to Protest and Their Protests are Justified

Ali Khamenei in his speech today addressed the situation of the people of Bahrain and said that the people of Bahrain have the right to protest and their protests are justified.

Ali Khamenei spoke about the situation of the people of Bahrain in his speech today. He mentioned the people of Bahrain and their protests while eight months have passed since the protests of the Iranian people, and not only are their protests not addressed, but one after another, those who protest are sentenced to death and their sentences are carried out.

Ali Khamenei said in his speech: “The people of Bahrain have the right, they are protesting and their protests are justified. I speak with every insightful person about this matter and lay out for the world the situation of those people, the manner of governing these oppressed people, and the kinds of exploitation that the rulers of that country impose on them. See whether that government is condemned or not?”

Ali Khamenei spoke about the rights of the people of Bahrain in his speech, while not only does he not recognize any rights for the Iranian people, but in response to the protests of the people, he has given free rein to regime agents to treat people however they wish. Ali Khamenei speaks of oppressed people who live a comfortable life with Iran’s wealth, while the Iranian people live below the poverty line.

A brief excerpt from Ali Khamenei’s speech on the above matters can be seen below.

In truth, against such a government, what protest is permissible and justified? According to Khamenei’s own words, should not such a government be condemned?
