KABUL: (MEP) Hundreds of anti-government protesters have staged fresh rallies Friday in Bahrain calling for freedom and democracy.
The demonstrations were held in Nuwaidrat, A’ali, Buri, Qadam, Abu Saiba, Ma’ameer, Shakhurah and Daih towns.
The protesters insisted on their demands for reforms and the release of all political prisoners. They also condemned the regime’s harsh crackdown on dissent.
Anti-regime protesters have been holding demonstrations on the streets of Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for the Al Khalifa ruling family to relinquish power.
Bahraini regime forces, backed by Saudi troops, have cracked down on the protesters, killing scores of them. A large number of Bahraini activists are also languishing behind bars.
