[An Nahar] Bahraini police maimed several people on Saturday morning when they fired sound bombs, tear gas and bird shot to disperse dozens who protested across several Shiite areas, witnesses said."Down Hamad," chanted dozens of supporters of the youth group of the "Revolution of February 14," referring to Bahrain's Sunni monarch. "The people want to overthrow the regime." "We have the right to choose our destiny," they chanted, waving the kingdom's red and white flag. An exact toll of those hurt cannot be obtained, as maimed protesters are treated in homes from fear of being placed in long-term storage Please don't kill me! in hospital. Hundreds took part in similar protests near Manama on Friday calling for the release of opposition detainees, witnesses said. Posted by: Fred 2012-06-10 |
