Bahraini Regime Continues to Suppress Protests

(FNA)- Bahraini regime forces attacked Protesters demanding the immediate release of all political prisoners.

On Saturday, Bahraini people took to the streets in protest against the continued detention of Sheikh Ali Salman, the Secretary-General of the main opposition bloc al-Wefaq, and called for the immediate release of all political prisoners.

The Al-Khalifa regime forces attacked the peaceful protesters, and injured many of them.

Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for an end to the al-Khalifa dynasty.

Violence against the defenseless people escalated after a Saudi-led conglomerate of police, security and military forces from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member states - Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar - were dispatched to the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom on March 2011, to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.

So far, tens of protesters have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and thousands of others have been injured.
