(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahraini anti-discriminate protesters have pledged to march back to the capital Manama's Pearl Square, the focal point of demonstrations against the ruling Al Khalifa regime.
The Coalition of Youth of the February 14th Revolution in a statement called on Bahraini people to start returning to the square in the early hours of Wednesday.
The statement came after protesters made several attempts to march to the iconic square to mark the first anniversary of their popular revolution, which started on February 14, 2011.
Shuhada Square (Pearl Roundabout) was razed last year as part of Manama's crackdown on the protests. The protesters now refer to it as the Martyr's Square.
On Tuesday, Saudi-backed regime forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the protesters. More than 30 people, including rights activist Nabeel Rajab and six American activists, were arrested during the demonstrations. But they released Nabeel Rajab today morning on bail.
The main opposition al-Wefaq party says regime forces also attacked villages, hitting many houses by tear gas canisters.
Bahrainis have been calling for an end to the rule of Al Khalifa dynasty since February last year.
About 68 people have been martyred and hundreds of others have been arrested in Manama's brutal crackdown on protesters.
