Iran Majlis warns over Bahrain invasion
Sat Mar 19, 2011 6:15AM
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani
Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has issued a warning over the foreign military invasion of Bahrain, describing it as a serious threat to regional and global security.
"Why should the Muslim people of Bahrain be attacked by foreign forces only because of their totally peaceful protest against the unjust measures of the ruling system and their call for participation in determining their own fate?" Larijani wrote in a letter to Edward Ssekandi, Chairman of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of the Islamic Conference Member States.
"This is while, under numerous international treaties, the right to determine fate is among inalienable rights and no power is allowed to deprive any nation of such a right. Any kind of foreign invasion or meddling to repress protesters is interference in the domestic affairs [of countries] and is a blatant violation of human rights."
"We regard the military invasion of Bahrain which occurred after the visit of the US defense secretary and this country's (US) green light as a serious threat to regional and global peace and security. We warn invaders to learn a lesson from the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and stop this bloody adventurism immediately."
Larijani warned that a gloomy future would await the whole region if such "arbitrary" military measures are not brought to an end.
He urged international organizations, in particular the UN Security Council, to take action to put an immediate end to foreign military intervention in crisis-hit Bahrain.
The top Iranian official also called on the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of the Islamic Conference Member States to hold an emergency meeting to help come up with a peaceful solution to the critical situation in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen.
In another letter to Mahmoud al-Abrash, Chairman of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA), Larijani also condemned "inhumane crimes" in Libya, Bahrain and Yemen and called for an emergency meeting of the APA or the troika of the APA on the situation in those countries as well as the quake-hit people of Japan.
More than 12 people have been killed and about 1,000 injured during the anti-government protests since February 14 in Bahrain.
Bahraini protesters have been demanding the ouster of the Al Khalifa monarchy and constitutional reforms.
To help the Bahraini government crush the anti-government protests, Saudi Arabia has deployed more than 1,000 troops to the country at the request of Manama.
In a similar move, the UAE has dispatched around 500 police forces to the oil-rich Persian Gulf monarchy.
Despite massive crackdowns, anti-government protests have also been going on in Yemen and Libya, where demonstrators demand an end to the rule of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh and Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi.
