| [Iran Press TV] People have taken to streets across Bahrain to protest against the Al Khalifa regime following the death of an anti-regime protester. Friday's protest, dubbed "The Demands Remain," followed the death of Bahraini activist Abulaziz al-Abbar. "Abbar has been martyred today, after police directly shot his head on February 23," said al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, the main opposition bloc in the country, on its Twitter feed earlier in the day. In Abbar's hometown, the village of Sanabis which is situated in the west of the capital Manama, police used force against the demonstrators to put an end to the protest. In the village of Daih, also in the west of the capital, protesters rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against violations committed by the ruling Al Khalifa family. Sheikh Ali Salman, the head of al-Wefaq, was also seen among the crowd at a protest in the village of Salmabad, southwest of Manama. Similar demonstrations were also held in the eastern island of Sitra. |
