Bahraini regime forces have arrested two more Muslim clerics as the ruling Al-Khalifah dynasty presses ahead with its heavy-handed crackdown.

Bahraini troopers arrested Sheikh Hani al-Banna and Sheikh Yassin al-Jamri on Sunday, and took them to the police station in the coastal town of al-Budaiya for an hours-long investigation, Arabic-language Lualua television network reported.

The report added that the pair would appear before Bahrain’s Public Prosecution later this week.

Bahraini source, requesting not to be named, said regime forces have summoned at least six Shia clergymen within the past few days over the content of their sermons in the run-up to Ashura that marks the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the third Shia Imam and the grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Manama regime has ramped up its repressive measures during the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar of Muharram, the tenth day of which is known as Ashura.

Bahraini regime forces deploy in the northwestern village of Diraz on September 13, 2018, ahead of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the third Shia Imam and the grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Bahraini regime forces have removed stalls set up to provide food and drinks to the mourners, and removed Ashura signs across the country.
