Bahrainis mark uprising anniversary, Al Khalifa suppresses

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Shutting down their activities and resuming peaceful movements, Bahraini people marked the seventh anniversary of the February 14th revolution in nationwide rallies.

Thousands of Bahrainis spilled out into the streets across several towns and villages amid a heavy police presence

Yet, Bahraini regime forces attacked the demonstrators in Manama, the Capital, al-Alam reported.

Seven years ago on this day, the Persian Gulf monarchy of Bahrain witnessed the birth of a popular uprising that has continued uninterrupted until now.

Since February 14, 2011, Bahraini people have been holding peaceful protest rallies on an almost daily basis, demanding that the Al Khalifah family relinquish power and let a just system representing all Bahrainis be established.

Manama has responded to the protests with lethal force, drawing international criticism. In March 2011, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were also deployed to assist Bahrain in its crackdown.

Bahraini authorities have also detained human rights campaigners, broken up major opposition political parties and revoked the nationality of several activists.
