Bahraini forces fire tear gas at protesters in Manama

Bahrain’s Saudi-backed regime forces in Manama have fired tear gas to disperse peaceful demonstrators demanding release of jailed opposition figures.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The regime forces attacked the protesters who had taken to the streets of the capital, in a fresh wave of anti-government protests fueled by harsh sentences for jailed human rights activists.

This comes after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned harsh sentences handed down to 13 leading Bahraini activists, including life imprisonment, urging the Al Khalifa regime to observe international human rights laws.
