Bahrain regime forces directly fire at a peaceful woman who was calling for the release of al-wefaq secretary general sheikh Ali Salman.

Sheikh Ali Salman, Secretary General of the main opposition group al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, was arrested on 28 December following interrogation at the Ministry of Interior’s Criminal Investigations Directorate in connection with statements made in his speeches in 2012 and 2014, including most recently at the party’s General Assembly meeting on 26 December.

Security forces in Bahrain have crack down anti-government protesters demanding the release of a prominent jailed opposition leader.

Bahrain has been witnessing almost daily protests against the minority Al Khalifa dynasty since early 2011, when an uprising began in the kingdom. Since then, thousands of protesters have held numerous rallies in the streets of Bahrain, calling for the Al Khalifa royal family to relinquish power.
