Bahrainis Continue Anti-Regime Protests
Navideshahed: The spirited and courageous people of Bahrain still refuse to leave the streets of capital Manama and other cities and villages of the country, demanding a downfall of the Al-Khalifa dictatorial regime.
On Thursday, Bahraini anti-regime protesters have once again held demonstrations in and around Manama.
The demonstrators chanted slogans such as, "We shall never accept humiliation" and called for the downfall of the regime.
They said they had begun blocking main roads to and from the capital.
Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for an end to the Al Khalifa dynasty's over-40-year rule.
Violence against the defenseless people escalated after a Saudi-led conglomerate of police, security and military forces from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member states - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar - were dispatched to the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom on March 13, 2011, to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.
So far, more than 69 people have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and thousands of others have been injured.
Police clampdown on protesters continues daily. Authorities have tried to stop organized protests by opposition parties over the past month by refusing to license them and using tear gas on those who turn up.
The opposition coalition wants full powers for the elected parliament and a cabinet fully answerable to parliament.
The End
