Workers rally against job dismissals in Bahrain

Sacked Bahraini employees have demonstrated in the capital city of Manama against the government demanding return to their jobs.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - On Tuesday, the former workers staged a demonstration outside the Ministry of Labor, protesting against the Al Khalifa regime's empty promises about their reemployment.

Thousands of workers have been dismissed by the Saudi-backed regime for attending anti-regime rallies.

Numerous demonstrations against job dismissals have been held outside the ministry as well as near the Ministry of Interior since February 2011 when the Bahraini public started staging a revolution against the ruling regime.

The outraged public have been calling on the Al Khalifa royal family to relinquish power.

Dozens of civilians have been killed and hundreds more arrested or fired from their jobs during Manama-sanctioned crackdown since the beginning of the peaceful pro-democracy protests.

Soon after the launch of the protests, the government called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring Persian Gulf states to assist the suppression campaign.
