Anti-government protesters have once again taken to the streets in Bahrain, demanding an end to the rule of Al Khalifa dynasty and departure of Saudis forces.
Protesters in the northwestern town of Malikiya staged another demonstration on Monday, condemning the Saudi occupation of their country and called for the immediate withdrawal of Saudi troops.
The Bahraini people continue to hold protests on a daily basis despite the brutal crackdown by the regime forces.
Bahraini opposition says protesters will continue their street demonstrations until the nation's demands are met.
Saudi-led forces were deployed to the Persian Gulf island nation in mid-March upon Manama's request to help Bahraini troops quell the nationwide anti-regime protests. Many countries have condemned Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Bahrain.
Saudi activists have also repeatedly called for the withdrawal of their troops from the neighboring country.
Thousands of anti-government protesters have been staging demonstrations in Bahrain since mid-February, demanding political reforms and a constitutional monarchy, a demand that later changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores of people have been killed and hundreds, including doctors and journalists, have been arrested in the Saudi-backed crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain.
Human rights groups and the families of protesters arrested during the crackdown say that most detainees have been physically and mentally abused, while the whereabouts of many of them still remain unknown.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have criticized the Manama for its brutal crackdown on civilians.
