Martyrs' Day

Martyrs Day Faces Tear Gas As Marches Move Into Manama 


Bahrain security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse anti-regime protesters gathering to commemorate the martyrs of the capital Manama.
Hundreds of demonstrators again took to the streets of the capital on Monday on the occasion of the annual commemoration of two protesters by security forces martyrs Al Khalifa regime in 1994.

Outraged protesters chanted slogans against the regime in the streets, where police in Bahrain tried to disperse them with stun grenades and tear gas.

According to reports, the Bahraini army had set up checkpoints and extended patrols in the capital prior to the event Monday.

In a similar approach, on Sunday, Saudi-backed forces in Bahrain have attacked hundreds of demonstrators who censored a speech by King Hamad Annual bin Isa Al Khalifa, in which he praised the security forces of the country.

The Bahraini uprising began in February 2011. The regime immediately launched a brutal crackdown and called on the Saudi-led forces from the Persian Gulf Arab States neighbors to help crush the protests.

Bahraini protesters say they will continue to organize protests until their demands for the creation of a democratically elected government and an end to human rights violations are met.
