Some 37 wounded in anti-regime protests across Bahrain

Dozens of Bahraini protesters have been injured when they came under attack by Manama’s forces during fresh anti-regime rallies across the country.

On Saturday, Bahraini police forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the protesters in several areas, including Sitra Island as well as the villages of Ma’ameer and Nuwaidrat.

Reports say some 37 protesters sustained injuries during the clashes.

The fresh round of protests came in condemnation of the recent execution of three Shia Muslim activists for their alleged role in a bombing during an anti-regime demonstration in 2014.

Abbas al-Samea, 27, Sami Mushaima, 42, and Ali al-Singace, 21, were executed on January 15 by firing squad.

The killings came a week after the Court of Cassation upheld death sentences against the trio after finding them guilty of killing three policemen, including an Emirati officer, in the northern village of al-Daih back in March 2014
