Bahrain's Shia community and its social weight in the power structure Lack of social justice and inequality

Present estimates place Bahrain’s population at approximately 70% Shia and 30% Sunni, with other religious groups dominating the marginal percentages. The reign of the al-Khalifa family has largely been characterized by a discrimination against the shia. Many Shia still regard the al-Khalifa family as conquerors, and resent the government’s marginalization of their voice and power within society. On the other side, the al-Khalifa government has typically discriminated against the Shia in the country, oftentimes to the benefit of those citizens and residents that share their faith. Discrimination against Shiites in Bahrain goes back to long decades and this has been confirmed in international reports and by international rights organizations.
