‘Bahraini forces have continued crackdown on anti-regime protesters a day after the third anniversary of the country’s revolution against the ruling Al Khalifa family.


Security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets on Saturday to disperse protesters in several Bahraini towns and villages including Jad Hafs, Diraz and al-Nabih.


Further protests have been organized by the main opposition group al-Wefaq.
