Bahraini revolutionaries hold anti-regime demonstration in Diraz

Bahraini revolutionaries have held a demonstration against the ruling Al Khalifa regime in the northwestern village of Diraz, Press TV reports.

Revolutionaries chanted slogans against the Al Khalifa regime during the demonstration in Diraz on Tuesday.

In addition to the Tuesday demonstration in Diraz, Bahraini people in several other towns and villages also protested against the Saudi support for the Manama regime.

In mid-March 2011, Saudi Arabia, along with the United Arab Emirates, deployed troops in Bahrain to help the Manama regime crush anti-government demonstrations.

Saudi-backed Bahraini forces continue the violent crackdown on anti-regime protests.

On March 10, regime forces killed a 21-year-old protester who was trying to get to the iconic Pearl Square in Manama with a group of other demonstrators.

Bahrainis hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death of protesters during the popular uprising in the country that began in February 2011.
