Bahraini Regime Forces Attack Anti-Discrimination Protesters in Sahla

shiitenews Bahrain regime fSaudi-backed Bahraini regime forces have attacked anti-government protesters in the village of Sahla, near the capital Manama, leaving several people injured.
The attack on Sahla was been one of the latest in the Bahraini regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters.
On Friday, regime forces fired tear gas and stun grenades at a group of Bahrainis, who responded by hurling Molotov-cocktails, during an anti-regime protest.
Similar protests were also held in the villages of Dair and Samaheej on Friday.
In recent weeks, several Bahraini civilians, mostly senior citizens and kids, have died from asphyxia after regime troops fired tear gas in residential areas and into homes in violation of international conventions, to which Bahrain is a signatory.
Bahraini troops rely heavily on tear gas and stun grenades to disperse peaceful anti-government protesters.
Amnesty International has warned about the Bahraini government’s misuse of tear gas against anti-regime protesters and has called for an investigation into tear gas-related deaths.
Thousands of anti-government protesters have been staging demonstrations in Bahrain since mid-February 2011, demanding political reform and a constitutional monarchy, a demand that later changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores of people have also been killed and many others have been injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain.
