(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahrainis have staged anti-government demonstrations to express their support for jailed opposition activists, whose trials come to a conclusion with the issuance of verdicts on Wednesday.
Protesters demonstrated in several villages on Tuesday night and called for the ouster of the Al Khalifa dynasty, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
In some villages people turned off their lights at a set time at night.
"We chose the symbol of darkness because we feel as long as they are in jail and not speaking for us in dialogue, there is an injustice," said one resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Another demonstration is planned for Wednesday to show solidarity with the jailed activists and to call for their release.
On Wednesday, the verdicts will be announced for 21 well-known opposition leaders and rights activists facing charges of plotting a coup earlier this year.
