Saudi Occupying Forces Intensifying Suppressive Measures against Bahraini Protesters

A senior Bahraini opposition figure said the Saudi occupying forces in Bahrain are now using more violent measures against peaceful protesters in Bahrain, and deplored the international community’s silence over the Saudis’ crimes in the tiny Gulf island.

“The longer this revolution gets, the more intensified brutality is shown by the Saudi occupiers to harness the Bahraini revolution,” Sheikh Sadeq al-Jamari, one of the February 14 Youth Movement leaders, told FNA on Monday,according to FNA

He added that numerous war crimes and waves of massacre and killings have been conducted by foreign troops since the deployment of the Saudi forces under the guise of the so-called Peninsula Shield Force in Bahrain as well as Jordanian forces on Bahrain’s soil.

Jamari also lashed out at that international human rights organizations and international community for their silence over the continued brutality of the Saudi forces in Bahrain.

During the last few days, the Bahrain people have widened anti-regime and anti-Saudi-occupation protest rallies across the country to renew their calls for freedom and democracy, and condemn Riyadh’s interfering policies in their country.

The rallies came on the second anniversary of the occupation of Bahrain by the Saudi forces.

Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February 2011, calling for an end to the al-Khalifa dynasty’s over-40-year rule, end of discrimination, establishment of justice and a democratically-elected government as well as freedom of detained protesters.

So far, tens of people have been killed, hundreds have gone missing and thousands of others have been injured.
