Bahraini protesters condemn violent regime crackdown

Bahraini anti-regime protesters have gathered in a village near the capital Manama to press for their demands and condemn the violent crackdown by security forces.

According to Press TV, thousands of demonstrators gathered for the second day in the northern village of Muqsha, about 8 kilometers west of Manama.

The Bahraini opposition groups that organized the demonstration said the protest would continue until February 14, the first anniversary of the popular uprising in Bahrain.

The protesters also demanded the release of political prisoners.

A massive anti-regime demonstration was also held in Muqsha in December 2011.

Scores of people have been killed and hundreds more arrested or fired from their jobs since the beginning of the popular uprising in Bahrain in mid-February 2011.
