(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahraini activists have held new anti-regime protests across the capital Manama against the ruling Al Khalifa family.
The demonstrators took to the streets on Saturday in the face of continued crackdown by Saudi-backed Bahraini forces on peaceful protests in the Persian Gulf island.
They shouted slogans against the regime and its allies, including Saudi Arabia, which has been heavily contributing to Manama's suppression of the popular uprising it has been facing since February.
In the eastern village of Ma'ameer, regime forces stormed a house and detained a young boy.
Meanwhile, a teenage girl was rearrested in spite of her deteriorating health condition.
The 17-year-old Ashwaq al-Magabi, who suffers from sickle cell anemia, was first detained among dozens of women during a protest in a Manama mall in October.
According to local sources, scores of people have been killed, some while in custody, and hundreds more arrested during the campaign of suppression.
