(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The demonstration comes after British Prime Minister David Cameron met Al Khalifa in Downing Street for talks on bilateral ties and regional issues.
Activists gathered outside Cameron’s office in London to condemn the British government’s policy of supporting the ruling dictatorship of the tiny Persian Gulf island nation.
Chanting slogans and holding placards, campaigners urged the British government to change its stances towards the oppressing regime of Manama and to take steps in the way of justice in the country.
Cameron’s meeting with Al Khalifa also comes on the same day that the United Nations (UN) expressed concern over a new anti-terror law which would give the government the power to strip Bahrainis of their citizenship.
Before flying to London, the Bahraini dictator amended a law on public gatherings, banning protests in the capital, Manama, and elsewhere in the country.
Bahrainis have been peacefully demonstrating since mid-February 2011, demanding political reform. The demand later changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling al Khalifa regime 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 began in the country.
