Bahraini Protestors Demand Freedom, Democracy
Navideshahed: The spirited people of Bahrain continued rallies against the Manama regime's continued suppression of protests, demanding freedom and democracy as well as a downfall of the al-Khalifa dictatorial regime.
A large number of Bahraini protestors from different walks of life carried the Bahraini flag and staged a rally in al-Badie' street in Western Manama, calling for freedom and democracy in a country ruled by the al-Khalifa regime for over 40 years.
Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for an end to the al-Khalifa dynasty.
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, tens of protesters 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 months 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.''
