impact on the people or make them back down. They will continue with persistence on demanding their rights in every peaceful way. They will withstand until they are recognized and treated with justice, until they retrieve all their rights.

Adherence to the peaceful method

With the peoples commitment to demanding reform and the oppositions commitment to peacefulness, and with the political societies issuance of the Non violence Declaration; the Authority which is unwilling to reform and the regional and Arab community as well as the world that remains silent towards the plight of this people, are practically telling the people to welcome injustice, humiliation, marginalization, exclusion, discrimination, slavery and to abandon their religion, dignity, rights, freedom and humanity. Moreover, to admit that the people are slaves, and that the Authority owns them, and own their blood, possessions, present and future.

If the whole world is to say this frankly to the people of Bahrain, it would find that they are better than to give up anything of their religion, humanity, freedom and rights.

This people prohibit themselves of shedding the sanctity of blood. They prohibit themselves from destroying anything worth one pence of this nations wealth, or unjustly hurt any human being.

These people have taken upon themselves to respect every human, to not attack any person in this country whether a citizen or resident or visitor. They have taken upon themselves to maintain the Islamic and national brotherhood, to avoid violence and terrorism, to not use immoral or impolite language and to not overpass the truth.
