Proving their intolerable vicious nature, Bahraini regime force attacked on Sunday thousands of mourners that attended the funeral of 73-year-old Ami al-Mouali, who was killed on Saturday by the Saudi-backed fire near the capital Manama.

The mourners were attacked after chanting slogans against the Bahraini regime, demanding the downfall of the ruling al-Khalifa family, Press TV reported.

On another hand, police forces also dispersed a Sunday protest constituted of hundreds of pro-democracy Bahrainis, who gathered outside the capital Manama for the fourth day in a row, AFP reported.

Also, the agency added that the Saudi-backed soldiers stormed live rounds and tear gas canisters on the protesters assembled at the Budaiya highway. Witnesses reported the forces using tear gas, and then throwing metal batons at demonstrators to disperse them.

In an attempt to grasp the world’s attention to the facts of Bahrain’s crackdown, Bahrainis started an “Occupy Budaiya Street” campaign on Thursday, during which 22 year old Ali al-Gassab was killed, while activist Zeinab al-Khawaja was arrested for taking part in the protests. …source
