Bahraini protesters demand release of prisoners

Bahraini anti-regime protesters have held demonstrations in the northeastern island of Sitra and the western village of Karzakan to demand the release of prisoners.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The demonstrators on Sunday also called for the downfall of the Al Khalifa regime.

In Sitra, the Saudi-backed regime forces used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the protesters.

Similar demonstrations were also held in Manama on Sunday.

Anti-regime protests in Bahrain continue despite the heavy-handed crackdown by the regime forces.

Bahraini demonstrators hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the killing of the protesters during the uprising that began in February 2011.
