(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Hundreds of protesters once again took to the streets of the capital on Monday to mark the annual commemoration of two protesters martyred by the Al Khalifa regime forces in 1994.Outraged demonstrators chanted anti-regime slogans in the streets, where Bahraini police tried to disperse them by stun grenades and tear gas.According to reports, the Bahraini military had already set up checkpoints and extended patrols across the capital ahead of the Monday demonstration.In a similar move on Sunday, the Saudi-backed Bahraini forces attacked hundreds of protesters who censured an annual speech by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, in which he praised security forces of the country.The Bahraini uprising began in February 2011. The regime promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring Persian Gulf states to help crush the demonstrations.Bahraini protesters say they will continue holding demonstrations until their demands for the establishment of a democratically elected government and an end to rights violations are met./129
