Editor?s Policy Analysis: Arrested Development; Stonewalling al Wefaq in Bahrain

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

On 16 June 2015, Ali Salman, leader of Bahrain?s al Wefaq bloc, was sentenced to four years in prison for inciting violence and encouraging an attempted coup d?état during the 2011 uprising. The verdict brought the Arab Spring in Bahrain to an end; a fact reflected in the muted response on Bahrain?s streets. Yet, many in the international press were swift to pour scorn on Bahrain?s government while glossing over the years of political unrest and the projection of Iranian interests though Ali Salman andthe party he represents. This brief analysis traces al Wefaq and reveals similarities between the bloc and the gangs of Ayatollah Khomeini?s men at the cusp of the 1979 revolution, between the fiery rhetoric of the Shia clergy in both countries and, mostimportantly, between the lofty goals they share in relation to establishing and maintaining a theocratic state. Ayatollah Khomeini dreamed of the Islamic Republic of Iran just as Ali Salman and his spiritual leader, Isa Qassim, dream of
