People in Bahrain continue to stage anti-government protest rallies, calling for the downfall of the repressive Al Khalifa regime, Press TV reports.
Bahraini protesters took to the streets in several villages across the country on Saturday night.
Chanting slogans against the ruling family, the protesters also demanded the release of demonstrators held by the regime.
On Friday, thousands of people poured to the streets in a demonstration organized by Bahrain’s largest opposition bloc, al-Wefaq.
According to organizers, the Friday protest was to show that the people of Bahrain would not back down from their demands.
Protesters have been calling on the ruling Al Khalifa family to release its decades-long grip on power.
The Saudi-backed Bahraini forces have killed scores of people and arrested hundreds more during crackdowns on the peaceful anti-government protesters. …source
