Alwaght- 22 Bahrainis were sentenced life in prison and another to death over anti-regime rallies made citizens hold protests widely against Al Khalifa regime.
On Friday Bahrainis held a demonstration on the island of Sitra southeast of the capital, Manama, demanding reforms in political system as well as freedom of expression. They also want their prominent opposition figures and hundreds of others incarcerated to be released immediately. Similar protests were held in the villages of Diraz, Ma’ameer, Nabih Saleh and elsewhere in solidarity with political detainees.
Bahraini regime forces fired tear gas canisters and buckshot to disperse the protesters.
Based on Press TV website, the protests came only a day after Bahrain’s Higher Criminal Court handed down a death sentence to one dissident and life imprisonments to 22 others in connection with the death of a policeman last year.
Since mid-February 2011, thousands of anti-regime protesters have held numerous demonstrations on an almost daily basis in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom, calling for the Al Khalifa family to relinquish power.
Scores of people have been killed and hundreds of others injured or arrested in the ongoing heavy-handed crackdown on peaceful rallies.
Amnesty International and other rights groups have repeatedly censured the Bahraini regime over the “rampant” human rights abuses against opposition activists and anti-government protesters.In a report released last year, Amnesty criticized Manama for resorting to torture, arbitrary detentions, and excessive use of force against peaceful government critics, including some as young as 17.
