Thousand of Bahrainis continued their sit-in next to the residence of Sheikh Issa Qassem in Diraz city in condemnation of the regime's decision to revoke his citizenship.

Meanwhile, media reports noted that the Bahraini regime forces isolated Diraz and banned the non-residents from entering the city.

The protestors asserted that they will not let the regime forces approach Sheikh Qassem's house.

In the same context, the various Bahraini cities witnessed similar protests against the move which was blasted by several regional states, parties and figures.

Bahraini Ulama at Jao jail issued a statement in which they  denounced the revocation of Sheikh Qassem citizenship, calling on a firm move to support the honorable cleric.

Bahraini regime on Monday stripped Ayatollah Sheikh Issa al-Qassem from citizenship in a clear escalation against Shia clerics in Bahrain.
