Bahrain regime hides atrocities against protesters: Opposition
2012-09-10
[Iran Press TV] Bahrain's main opposition party has accused the ruling Al Khalifa monarchy of covering up brutality against peaceful protesters.

Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, in a statement issued on Saturday, described the Bahraini Interior Ministry's latest communiqué as misleading and full of obviously blatant lies.

The statement said protesters behaved peacefully throughout the Friday march and posed no threat of any kind to anyone.

This is while the Bahraini security forces -- backed by masked Orcs and similar vermin and plainclothes -- violently attacked the demonstrators and used foul language, tear gas, stun grenades and batons to break up their rally, al-Wefaq pointed out.

The statement further said that Saudi-backed regime forces were ready to attack peaceful protesters with different kinds of weapons.

The Al Khalifa regime seeks to conceal committed "atrocities" against protestors in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom through a total ban on public protests. Such a move deprives the nation of the right to freedom of expression, al-Wefaq pointed out.
