Bahraini Police Fire Tear Gas at Peaceful Protesters

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Security forces in Bahrain clashed with anti-regime protesters in several villages as rallies are held to show solidarity with jailed student activists.

Interview

Police fired tear gas on Thursday to disperse protesters in the northern village of Al Daih. Similar protests were also staged in the village of Sanabis in the suburbs of the capital Manama as well as the northern city of Jidhafs.

The protesters chanted slogans against the ruling Al Khalifah family as the Manama regime keeps heavy-handed crackdown on peaceful protesters, , Press TV reported.
 
Since mid-February 2011, thousands of anti-regime protesters have held numerous demonstrations in the streets of Bahrain, calling for political reforms.

In March 2011, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were deployed to Bahrain to help Manama quash the anti-regime protests.

The Saudi-backed crackdown on protesters turned people's demands into calls for the downfall of the regime.

Scores of people have been killed and hundreds of others injured in the Manama regime’s ongoing crackdown on peaceful anti-regime rallies. The regime has also detained many protesters, including students.

Amnesty International has voiced concerns over the “continuing detention of prisoners of conscience and the harsh sentences” given by courts in the Persian Gulf country to protesters.
