| 2012-05-27 |
| [Iran Press TV] Bahraini regime forces have attacked anti-government protesters holding a demonstration in the northwestern village of Saar. The protesters erupted into the streets in Saar, about 16 kilometers (10 miles) west of the capital, Manama, on Saturday. They rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the ruling Al Khalifa regime. Meanwhile, ...back at the Senate, Odius Sepulcher called for war against the Visigoths... similar demonstrations were also held in several towns and villages near Manama on Saturday. Regime forces used tear gas and sound grenades against the demonstrators. On May 23, Bahraini protesters erupted into the streets in the Ras Rumman neighborhood of Manama, burning the US flag and condemning Washington's support for the Manama regime. The US State Department said on May 11 that Washington will resume arms sales to Bahrain. Bahraini opposition groups and activists condemned the decision, saying it could encourage further human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... violations in the Persian Gulf country. The Saturday attacks on peaceful Bahraini anti-regime demonstrators come two days after reports said a court in Bahrain has sentenced tossed in the calaboose Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! human rights activist Zainab al-Khawaja to one month in prison on May 24. The court convicted the female activist of insulting a policewoman and obstructing traffic during an anti-regime demonstration in Manama on April 21. Zainab is the daughter of prominent rights activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who has been on a hunger strike for more than three months. Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who holds dual Danish and Bahraini nationality, was given a life sentence in a military court in June 2011 over accusations of inciting protests against the Manama regime. |
