(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Saudi-backed Bahraini forces have attacked anti-regime protesters in the village of Nuwaidrat, using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them.
Several protesters were injured during the violent clashes with the regime forces on Saturday.
Similar clashes erupted on Wednesday, when Bahraini force attacked anti-regime protesters attempting to enter the besieged village of Eker in the east of the country.
Bahrainis hold almost daily anti-regime rallies to demand the release of political prisoners and an end to rights violations by Manama.
The tiny Persian Gulf island state, which is home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, has been the scene of anti-regime protests since February last year and scores of people have been killed and hundreds more injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on the protests.
Bahrainis hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death and arrest of protesters.
Dozens of people have been killed in the regime crackdown and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accused of treating injured revolutionaries.
A report published by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry in November 2011 found that the Al Khalifa regime had used 'excessive force' in the campaign of suppression and accused Manama of torturing political activists, politicians, and protesters.
