During the events, participants performed traditional chest-beating rituals associated with Shia observances and expressed support for Iran’s new Leader of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
The demonstrations of solidarity held against the backdrop of heightened tensions surrounding the treatment of Bahrain’s Shia community.
The developments come only days after Bahraini authorities initiated legal proceedings against several prominent Shia clerics.
The cases were referred to the country’s High Criminal Court, marking the latest chapter in a long-running dispute between the government and segments of the Shia religious establishment.
