(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Many protesters were also arrested for taking part in the anti-regime rally in the traditional market area of Manama on Friday. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Scores of Bahrainis, including children, have died due to asphyxia after inhaling poisonous tear gas fired by Bahraini forces.
Last year, Amnesty International warned about the Bahraini regime's misuse of tear gas against protesters and has called for an investigation into the tear gas-related deaths.
Bahrainis have been staging demonstrations since mid-February 2011, demanding political reform and a constitutional monarchy, a demand that later changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores have been killed, many of them under torture while in custody, and thousands more detained since the popular uprising in Bahrain began.
Protesters say they will continue holding anti-regime demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically-elected government and an end to rights violations are met.
