Bahrain Mirror: Former MP and Al-Wefaq member Ali Al-Aswad said in tweets on his Twitter account that "threatening boycotters or those calling to boycott the formal elections is a return to the state security law, which is one of the worst periods of political governance in the world."
He noted that participation in the elections "under the power of the executioner and intimidation of people is a large prison for the word in a small island."
According to Al-Aswad, Bahrainis will participate in the elections "if the Bahraini authority respects the opinion of the people, the voter and the citizen, and allows them to express their opinion within the space of public liberties, and if it considers the citizen's right to participate or boycott the election natural and constitutional without being subject to threat from the state's apparatuses combined or separately (interior ministry + public prosecution + Judiciary)."
