Bahrain’s official news agency says dozens of civil servants will face “legal action” for participating in anti-government protests in the Gulf kingdom.

The state-run Bahrain News Agency says 111 employees of the Education Ministry have been fired as part of a wide ranging crackdown on the Shiite opposition that staged street marches and strikes against the Sunni rulers calling for greater rights and freedoms.
