The Saudi-backed Bahraini regime continues its brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters as it feels at ease with the silence of the West, a political activist had told Press TV.

“There hasn’t been a single statement coming out of Washington, regarding the doctors, regarding those people who are in jail, regarding the victims who are falling every day,” said Ali al-Ahmed, the director of the Institution for [Persian] Gulf Affairs, on Thursday in an interview with Press TV.

He also mentioned that the Western silence makes the Al Khalifa regime feel secure and confident in committing these atrocities.

Ahmed further added that the US continues to support the Bahraini regime as it seeks to undermine the revolution in the country.

“The US and the West feel that freedom in the Middle East or people power in the Middle East will undermine the interest of the West and will create independent, vibrant countries that will compete with the dominant interest of the US and [the] Western countries,” he said.

His comments come as recent video footage aired earlier in the week by the Arabic language Al-Alam news channel showed regime forces had used poisonous tear gas grenades against the protesters.

The poisonous tear gas grenades have allegedly been supplied to the Al Khalifa regime by the US. …source
