The angry protesters chanted slogans against the Al Khalifa regime. Anti-regime demonstrations continue in Bahrain despite a heavy-handed crackdown backed by Saudi Arabia. Bahraini protesters have been holding the demonstrations since February 2011 and they hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death of demonstrators during the uprising. The protesters say they will continue holding street demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically elected government is met. The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) has stated that the Manama regime has failed to make good on a promise to implement political reforms in the country.
