LET'S GET IT ON:
Bahrain court dissolves main Shi'ite opposition group Wefaq (Reuters, 7/17/16)
A Bahrain court on Sunday dissolved the main Shi'ite opposition group al-Wefaq and liquidated the group's funds, media in Bahrain and neighboring Saudi Arabia reported, deepening a crackdown on dissent in the U.S.-allied Gulf kingdom.The group's funds would be claimed by the state treasury, media organizations reported.Bahrain's opposition al Wasat newspaper reported that the court found that the group's political activities had "deviated" toward incitement to violence and the encouragement of mass protests and sit-ins that could lead to sectarian strife.
If the regime won't allow the 70% to govern, then it has to go, one way or another.
