1 | Bahrain: Despite the Ban, Opposition Protests in the Capital | Bahrain: Efa Raràna Fa Mbola Manohy Ny Hetsi-panoherana Ny Mpanohitra |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Bahrain Protests 2011/12. After stopping for a little over three months in light of the Ministry of Interior (MOI) refusing to grant permission to gatherings or marches of the opposition, societies held their second rally in the streets of Manama on Friday September 7, 2012. | Taorian'ny fiatoana naharitra telo volana mahery noho ny fandàvan'ny minisiteran'ny Atitany (MOI) hanome fahazoan-dalana ny fihetsiketsehana na diabe kasain'ny mpanohitra atao, notontosain'ny fikambanana ihany ny famoriam-bahoaka faharoa tao amin'ny araben'i Manama, tamin'ny Zoma lasa teo [7 Septambra 2012]. |
3 | The MOI had announced ahead on Twitter that the gathering is not authorized and participation is illegal. | Nanambara tao amin'ny Twitter ny MOI fa tsy nahazoan-dalana ny famoriam-bahoaka ka tsy ara-dalàna ny fandraisana anjara. |
4 | Various similar gatherings in Manama were previously denied permission, which according to a Ministry press release is because the capital is not the place to carry protests, citing traffic delays and adverse effects on businesses in the area as reasons for the ban. | Tsy nahazo alalana avokoa ireo famoriam-bahoaka hafa tahaka izany teo aloha, araka ny fanambarana an-gazety navoakan'ny minisitra, tsy ny renivohitra no toerana tokony hanaovana famoriam-bahoaka satria miteraka olana eo amin'ny fifamoivozana sy miteraka voka-dratsy eo amin'ireo orinasa manodidina, izany no anton'ny fanakanana . |
5 | Shaikh Ali Salman, the secretary-general of the opposition AlWefaq Islamic Society tweeted to comment that the ban will not stop him personally from attending the protest [ar]: | |
6 | @WefaqGS: If I was prevented I will walk to the capital or drive in my car to exercise my right to peaceful protest. | Chaikh Ali Salman, sekretera jeneralin'ny fikambanana mpanohitra Islamika AlWefaq ni-tweet fa tsy hanakana azy hamonjy fihetsiketsehana ny fanakanana [ar]: |

8 | Salman was among the first to arrive to Manama for afternoon prayers which he lead in Moemin Mosque, one of the iconic mosques that were closed during the unrest of the 1990s as it became a gathering place for opposition leaders at the time. | Anisan'ny tonga voalohany tao Manama i Salman nandritra ny fotoam-pivavahana atoandro notarihany tao amin'ny moskea Moemin, iray amin'ireo moskea manatantara nohidiana nandritra ny fitroarana tamin'ny taona 90 ka nanjary toeram-pamoriam-bahoaka ho an'ny mpanohitra tamin'izany fotoana izany. |

10 | Among the chants [ar] are a call for the freeing of political prisoners, down with Hamad [the monarch] and the all too familiar Arab Spring protest chant: “The people want the downfall of the regime.” | Anisan'ireo noventsoina ny antso ho amin'ny fanafahana ireo gadra politika, ny fialàn'i Hamad [mpanjaka] sy ilay hiram-panoherana mahazatra momba ny Lohataona Arabo: “Mila ny fionganan'ny fitondrana ny vahoaka.” |
11 | As hundreds responded to the call to protest, the announced route of the rally along the “Government Avenue” was soon besieged and riot police were stationed along it to prevent crowds from gathering. | Olona an-jatony no namaly ny antso hanao fihetsiketsehana, avy eo nosakanana ny “Làlana Governemanta” ary nihantsona teny manodidina teny ny polisy misahana ny rotaka mba handrava ny fikasan'ireo vahoaka hivorivory. |
12 | However, numerous spontaneous protests took place in the back allies of Manama, which were soon dispersed by riot police with stun grenades and tear gas. | Na dia izany aza, famoriam-bahoaka marobe tampoka no niseho tao ambadiky ny làlana ao Manama, izay noravain'ny polisy tamin'ny alalan'ny grenady sy baomba mandatsa-dranomaso avy eo. |
13 | Protesters carried pictures of detainees, chanted anti-government slogans and stressed their right to protest in the capital. | Nilanja ny sarin'ireo gadra ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana, niventsoventso ny teny filamatra manohitra ny governemanta ary nanasongadina ny zon'izy ireo hanao fihetsiketsahana ao an-drenivohitra. |
14 | Main entrances to the capital were later blocked by riot police armored vehicles or patrol cars, which diverted traffic to other roads. | Nobahanan'ny polisy misahana ny rotaka tamin'ny fiara mifono vy ny arabe lehibe fidirana ao andrenivohitra, izay niteraka fitohanan'ny fiara tamin'ny arabe hafa. |
15 | Pictures of blocked roads and open entrances were spread on Twitter. | Niparitaka tamin'ny Twitter ny sarin'ireo arabe misy fitohanana sy ny sarin'ny làlana fidirana misokatra. |

17 | The traffic diversion was not announced by MOI. | Tsy nambaran'ny MOI ny fisian'ny fitohananan'ny fiara. |
18 | Instead, it let out a tweet saying that the traffic jams around Manama are due to planned road work in the area [ar]: | Ka nahatonga ny sioka milaza fa noho ny asa fanamboaran-dalana no mahatonga ny fitohanan'ny fiara manodidina an'i Manama |
19 | @moi_bahrain : Traffic congestion on Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman and King Faisal Roads leading to Muharraq because of planned roadwork near the traffic light by the Regency Hotel up until the traffic light of the Sheraton Hotel, we are working to ease traffic. | @moi_bahrain : Mitohana ny fiara ao amin'ny Làlana Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman sy King Faisal mankany Muharraq noho ny asa fanamboaran-dalana eo akaikin'ny jirom-pifamoivozana eo amin'ny Hotely Regency hatrany amin'ny jirom-pifamoivozana eo amin'ny Hotely Sheraton, amboarinay ny làlana mba hanatsarana ny fifamoivozana. |
20 | Skirmishes and small protests continued throughout the day. | Mbola nitohy nandritra ny tontolo andro ny gidragidra madinika sy ny fihetsiketsehana madinika. |
21 | The situation because tense by the maghreb [sunset] prayers, when groups of riot police surrounded the mosque Ali Salman prayed in, in anticipation of the protesters regrouping demonstrating again. | Nihahenjana ny toe-draharaha nialoha ny fotoam-bavaka maghreb [masoandro mody], raha tonga nihodidina ny moskea nivavahan'i Ali Salman ny vondrona polisy misahana ny rotaka ho fisorohana ny fivorivoriana mety hivondrona hanao fihetsiketsehana indray. |
22 | The day ended with the arrest of six protesters as announced by MOI. | Niafara tamin'ny fisamborana mpanao fihetsiketsehana enina ny tontolo andro araka ny fanambaran'ny MOI. |
23 | MOI has also issued a press release the next day stating that criminal charges have been filed with the public prosecutor against AlWefaq for calling for the protest, even though five other opposition societies have called their supporters to protest on social media. | Namoaka fanambarana an-gazety ny MOI ny ampitso ary nilaza fa efa napetraka eny amin'ny mpampanòa lalàna ny fitoriana sy ny fiampangana heloka bevava ny AlWefaq noho ny antso nataony ho amin'ny fihetsiketsehana, na dia nanohana hanao hetsi-panoherana amin'ny alalan'ny tambajotra sosialy aza ny fikambanan'ny mpanohitra dimy hafa. |
24 | Many were not pleased with the opposition carrying their protests despite the ban and a Twitter campaign under the hashtag “Close Down AlWefaq” #أغلقوا_الوفاق was launched. | Maro no tsy faly tamin'ny nataon'ny mpanohitra tamin'ny fihetsiketsehana notarihany na dia efa nisy aza ny fandraràna sy ny fanentanana nalefa tao amin'ny Twitter tamin'ny tenifototra hoe “Akatony AlWefaq” #أغلقوا_الوفاق. |
25 | A number of public figures also expressed their concern. | Naneho ny ahiahiny ny sasany tamin'ireo mpanao politika. |

27 | @khalidalkhalifa: AlWefaq should respect the authority of the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain, or else it should comfort us by taking its sectarianism and its arrogance to “another planet”. | @khalidalkhalifa: Tokony hanaja ny fitondrana sy ny lalàn'ny Fanjakana Bahrainita ny AlWefaq, na tokony hampahery anay amin'ny itondrany ny sektarismany sy ny avonavonany amin'ny “planeta hafa” izy. |
