Bahraini regime forces attack anti-regime protesters

Anti-regime protesters in Bahrain have been attacked once again by the country’s Saudi-backed forces as the demonstrators continue to insist on their demands. In the capital city of Manama, forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the protesters, who called for an end to the long-time rule of the Al Khalifa regime. The Sheikhdom has been the scene of anti-regime demonstrations since February 2011. The Manama regime forces have been cracking down on the protests ever since. The rallies continue across the kingdom despite a ban on public gatherings and the regime crackdown. Scores of people have been killed and many others have been arrested during the revolution. Bahrainis hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death and arrest of protesters.
