[13 Dec 2013] Bahraini regime forces arrest several people after filing request for peaceful protest - English
Bahraini regime forces have arrested several people after they filed official notice of peaceful protests in the Persian Gulf Kingdom. The main opposition group al-Wefaq says that at least three people were arrested after they gave authorities the required official request for a mass protest organized by opposition parties. Al-Wefaq condemned the move, saying authorities are using their power to punish the individuals through arrest. Bahrain has been rocked by anti-regime demonstrations since February 2011. The protesters have been calling for the downfall of the regime. Dozens of people have been killed and a large number of demonstrators arrested in the crackdown since then.
