The Interior Minister has reiterated the importance of national unity and responsibility in safeguarding civil and social peace during these sensitive times.
Addressing concerns about certain law violations, ‘which may have been influenced by external pressures or foreign allegiances’, General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa said, “Loyalty to foreign entities is an act of treason and a violation of the law, which will be addressed in a manner consistent with the approach of the state that upholds rights and the rule of law.”
The minister made the statement yesterday as he met an elite group of citizens from various segments of society as part of a broader initiative to strengthen the spirit of unity and preserve social stability.
He called for early intervention in such matters through community engagement and encouraged the participants to play an active role in promoting security and social peace through responsible advice, guidance and awareness.

“One of the most prominent achievements is the security, stability and continuous development in the kingdom, which are further supported by the social values of generosity, respect and tolerance that are deeply embedded in Bahraini society. These enduring characteristics that are rooted in the nation’s traditions form the cornerstone of Bahrain’s social cohesion, which must be preserved,” he said.
Gen Shaikh Rashid commended the participants for their discipline and sense of responsibility, noting that national wisdom is crucial for maintaining social harmony.
The participants emphasised the importance of collective national efforts, social solidarity and maintaining a unified stance to protect Bahrain’s social fabric.
