Thousands of protesters marched the streets of Bani Jamra (West of Manama), with photo for martyrs Al Ghasra, Mahmoud Yahya, and Mostafa Yousef, who were killed by special forces at sea last Thursday (February 9, 2017).
Demonstrators chanted slogans against Bahraini King, saying "Down with Hamad", and "The people want to topple the regime". They stressed their continuation in the path of struggle against the ruling family, which exercises monopoly over power.
