Fresh Protests in Bahrain: “End Khalifa Rule”
Local Editor
People in Bahrain staged fresh protests in several towns across the Persian Gulf kingdom, calling for an end to the rule of the al-Khalifa regime.
The protesters waved Bahrain's national flags and carried placards that said they will not compromise with the al-Khalifa regime.
On October 30, Bahraini regime forces stormed and shut down an exhibition, dubbed the revolution museum, two days after it was opened by Bahrain's main opposition bloc al-Wefaq.
Al-Wefaq says it plans to lodge a complaint with the United Nations over the regime's raid on the exhibition, which had been organized in an effort to portray the Manama regime's brutal clampdown on peaceful protests.
Scores have been killed since the uprising broke out in Bahrain in mid-February 2011, many of them under torture while in custody, and thousands more detained since the popular uprising began.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have condemned the imprisonment of activists in Bahrain, describing the move as "appalling."
