Salehi referred to continuation of crackdown on Bahraini Muslims’ peaceful movement whose uprising seeks the vindication of their legal rights and protesting against discriminatory policies which breach human rights principles and noted continuing suppression would pave the ground for breach of regional peace and dignity and also breaching the primary rights of Bahraini Muslims.
