Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa approved his regime's decision to revoke the citizenship of senior cleric Sheikh Issa Qassem, according to media reports.

Neglecting all calls on cancelling the decision which was taken on June 20, al-Khalifa issued the decree which revokes Sheikh Qassem's citizenship.

The sit-in next to the Bahraini cleric's residence in refusal of the decision kept on confronting the repressive regime measures.
