Activists demand end to Saudi Arabia’s ‘Occupation’ of Bahrain

Holding up posters of some of the youths who perished in the ensuing violence, the protesters called for an end to the Saudi ‘occupation’ of their country.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Bahraini activists gathered outside the Saudi embassy in Berlin on Friday, marking seven years since the start of the Saudi-led military intervention in Bahrain.

Holding up posters of some of the youths who perished in the ensuing violence, the protesters called for an end to the Saudi ‘occupation’ of their country.

Those who took part in the peaceful gathering also condemned what they termed as the international community’s silence concerning Manama’s rights violations.

More than 1,000 Saudi troops poured into Bahrain on March 14, 2011 to assist the Manama regime in its clampdown on pro-democracy protesters.

The suppression of the demonstrations would eventually become one of the bloodiest chapters in Bahrain’s history with over 100 killed.
