Bahrain al-Khalifa Regime Martyrs 73-year-old Abd-Ali Al Mawali

Another Bahraini anti-regime protester has martyred due to tear gas inhalation as thousands of people have taken to the streets once again to call for democracy and freedom.

The victim, identified as Haji Abd-Ali Al Mawali, was hospitalized at Salimaniya hospital after al-Khalifa regime forces fired tear gas at his home Friday night.

The 73-year-old Ali al Mawali resident of al Moqasha martyred yesterday after he was tear-gassed in an attack by regime forces in a village near the capital Manama.

According to Al Jazeera police in Bahrain have clashed with thousands of peaceful protesters for a third straight day along a main highway west of the capital.

Police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday along Budaiya highway, which connects a string of largely Shia villages west of the capital, Manama.

Protesters massed along the highway after the funeral of a protester who opposition supporters say died during a rally on Thursday. Witnesses say the man was hit by a police car.

Meanwhile Sheikh Ali Salman, the leader of Bahrain’s main Shia group al-Wefaq, has called on the Gulf kingdom’s authorities to release a prominent human rights activist, Zainab al Khawaja, who was detained during a protest.

Police arrested Zainab al-Khawaja on Thursday as she took part in a protest on a highway leading to Manama, according to the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights.

Since mid-February, thousands of anti-government protesters in Bahrain have been staging regular demonstrations in the streets, calling for the Al Khalifa royal family to relinquish power.

In mid-March, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates deployed military forces to Bahrain to assist the Bahraini government in its crackdown on the popular protests.

According to local sources, scores of people have been killed and hundreds arrested in the crackdown.

“We support Zainab and call for her release,” Salman told the AFP news agency on Friday during a visit to London.

He said continued arrests of protesters showed that the government was not serious about enacting reforms it had promised after the publication last month of a highly critical report on the protests in February and March.

The report said the death toll from a crackdown on the Shia-led pro-democracy protests in Bahrain had reached 55, and police had used “excessive force” and tortured detainees.
