Protests, clashes as Bahrainis mark anniversary of popular uprising

‘Thousands of people have been taking to the streets across Bahrain to mark the sixth anniversary of a popular uprising against the ruling regime in the country and denounce the crackdown that has ensued.
Protests to mark the anniversary of the February 14, 2011 revolution in Bahrain began on Monday and continued on Tuesday morning. People braved security forces, who were quickly deployed to crack down on the protests.
On Monday evening, people took to the streets in the northern village of Abu Saiba, west of the capital Manama, chanting slogans against King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifah and demanding the downfall of the regime.
They also held the monarch fully responsible for the crimes being perpetrated against the nation, the detention campaign against ordinary citizens and religious figures, and the killing of protesters.’
