Bahrainis Hold Anti-Regime Protests amid Brutal Crackdown

Bahrainis Hold Anti-Regime Protests amid Brutal Crackdown

Alwaght- Bahrainis have held 112 peaceful anti-regime protests in 40 different areas of the Persian Gulf kingdom, within the third week of March.

According to the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, 25 protests were oppressed by forces affiliated to the ministry of interior. Meanwhile, 5 citizens were injured by regime forces using internationally banned shotguns. Regime forces also used toxic gas to break up the peaceful protests by citizens.

The authorities arrested 62 citizens including 11 children in the period between 13 and 19 March within a harsh campaign against dissidents in the country, according to the center.

On Monday, protesters took to the streets in the villages of Musalla, Buri, Diraz and Sanabis on Monday evening, chanting slogans against the Al Khalifah regime.

They were also carrying photos of the victims of the regime’s crackdown, including Mohammed Sahwan who died in Manama’s custody last week.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced the death of the 45-year-old prisoner in a Tweet on March 16, citing “natural causes.” Sahwan was serving a 15-year sentence at Jaw prison for taking part in anti-regime demonstrations. Bahrainis have been carrying out anti-regime protests almost every following the Islamic awakening movement which began in February 2011.

The Western-backed Al Khalifa regime has used an iron fist to crackdown on the protests with neighboring Saudi Arabia and UAE sending in troops to crackdown on the uprising.

Many Bahrainis have been killed, hundreds injured and many more detained illegally while others have been stripped of their citizenship in a futile attempt by the authorities to halt the uprising.

Bahraini are demanding that the Al Khalifah steps down and the establishment of a political system representing all citizens.
