Nothing can stop Bahraini protesters

The president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights says Bahrainis are still protesting and say that nothing, even guns, attack helicopters and tanks, can stop them.

Following the Friday prayers, regime forces and pro-government thugs fired tear gas and live ammunition on protesters in many Bahraini cities, including the villages of Daih and Ma’ameer and a village near Sitra, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Regime forces have used helicopter gunship designed to destroy tanks on a battlefield to disperse protesters on Friday called the “Day of Sacred Defense.”

Despite attacks by the Saudi-backed military and security forces, the people are still protesting in the streets in different parts of Bahrain and expressing their demands for the downfall of the regime, Nabeel Rajab told Press TV late Friday.

“No matter how dangerous the situation gets, the protesters are insisting to come out into the streets,” he said, adding that the regime forces have still not succeeded in controlling the people’s uprising.

The protesters are shouting tanks, machineguns or anything else will not stop them coming out into the streets, he went on to say.

Head of Foreign Relation Office of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, Maryam al-Khawaja, has said that over 400 students have been kicked out, 1,300 workers have been fired from their jobs and over 800 people, including minors, have been detained since mid-February.

Scores of protesters have been killed since the beginning of the uprising and many others have been arrested during Manama’s violent crackdown on protesters.

Regime forces have also raided dozens of mosques, schools, sacred sites and even graves in persisting efforts to suppress the opposition.
