Bahrain Mirror: The prominent Bahraini Shiite cleric, Sayed Abdullah Al-Ghoraifi, took part in the funeral of the martyrs of freedom in the eastern part of Karababad, according to a video clip posted by activists.
The martyrs Maytham Mohammed, Sayed Qassem Sayed Khalil and Sayed Mahmoud Sayed Adel died at sea as they attempted to escape from Bahrain to Iran, while the fourth Hassan Ali Ibrahim still remains missing. The circumstances of their deaths were not clarified.
Al-Wefaq Society mourned the martyrs and said that they tried to escape to Iran because of the "insecurity and lack of safety in their homeland in Bahrain," stressing that "they went out seeking a place where they would guarantee their safety and lives." Al-Wefaq further stated that the three youths were "among those who were persecuted and under security pressure."
On Friday (February 23, 2018), tens of thousands participated in the funeral procession of the three martyrs in the Iranian city of Qom.
