Bahrain forces attack, arrest protesters
Oct 14th, 2011 – Bahrain – By shiapost

A female protester has been injured and several others have been arrested as regime forces in Bahrain continue to attack peaceful demonstrators. The protesters were chanting anti-regime slogans on Friday when they were targeted with tear gas and sound grenades.

The violence left one woman seriously wounded in the town of Nuwaidrat where regime forces engaged in heavy clashes with anti-government protesters. Regime forces have also attacked female protesters in the village of Karzakan.

Several demonstrators were arrested after the Saudi-backed forces attempted to disperse protests in towns and villages around the capital, Manama. Tens of thousands of demonstrators staged a rally in the eastern village of Buri, demanding an independent judiciary system.

The mass rally, called by Bahrain’s main political bloc al-Wefaq, came despite stepped up security measures in the Persian Gulf Kingdom. Al-Wefaq has been organizing weekly rallies every week demanding political and social reforms in the tiny Persian Gulf sheikhdom.

Scores of people have been killed and hundreds more have been arrested in the brutal crackdown of Saudi-backed Bahraini regime forces on peaceful protesters since anti-government protests began in the Persian Gulf kingdom in mid-February. …source
