Refusing Joining Their Country to KSA, Bahrainis Threaten with Resistance
Thousands of Bahraini opposition supporters rallied in Bahrain Friday to mark the one-year anniversary of the Gulf Saudi invasion to the tiny kingdom.
Thousands of protesters waved Bahraini flags, chanted anti-government slogans and demanded the release of political prisoners during the opposition rally in Mahooz, a western suburb of Manama.
Meanwhile, Bahraini opposition has rejected the regime's drafts of joining the Bahraini state to Saudi Arabia threatening with legitimate "resistance if this project was passed without a referendum on it."
It also announced the organization of opposition marches against al-Khalifa's rule in various areas of the kingdom next Friday.
In parallel, security forces continued storming the protesters' all over the country.
Bahraini activists declared that regime forces attacked demonstrators who were shouting slogans against the ruling dynasty.
"Regime forces fired tear gas directly at the protesters," the activists said.
For its part, European Parliament condemned human rights violations in Bahrain.
MEPs reiterated their call for "the immediate and unconditional release of all peaceful demonstrators, political activists and human rights defenders, in particular Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, and Mahdi Abu Dheeb, President of the Bahrain Teachers' Association."
Unveiling that "over 100 citizens have been arbitrarily detained in the past two months in Bahrain," the Parliament urged that "impartial and independent investigations must be made into human rights violations by the police and security forces and human rights and fundamental freedoms restored."
