Bahrain Elections
Bahrain holds parliamentary and municipal elections with ban on opposition candidates. Over 330 candidates are competing for 40 seats of Bahrains lower house of parliament.
The countrys main opposition group, Al-Wefaq, is barred from countrys elections. Rights groups have described Bahrains Parliamentary vote as political repression.
Bahrains top Shia cleric Sheikh Isa Qassem says participation in Parliamentary vote amounts to betrayal of country.
Press TV interviews Firas al-Najim, manager of Canadian Defenders of Human Rights from Toronto and Mohammad Ali Araki, journalist and political commentator from London to look at what is behind this façade that the Bahraini regime is displaying.
