The Interior Ministry has turned down a request submitted by Al Wefaq Society to the Directorate of the Northern Governorate Police to hold a rally from Janusan to Diraz roundabout on Friday July7.
Public Security Chief Major-General Tariq Al Hassan cited security reasons, the law on public assemblies and rallies as well as the timing and the location, which would disrupt the traffic, subvert security and compromise people’s interests. The Public Security chief warned that action would be taken against the participants in the illegal rally.
