The Al Khalifa regime in Bahrain has dismissed more than 3,000 employees on charges of participating in anti-regime demonstrations over the past year.
The regime has fired Shia and even Sunni employees over months of peaceful protests in the country.
The government has, instead, hired its own military forces and foreign nationals in state offices, with the purpose of reducing the number of Shia employees to less than 50 percent of the total work force.
Al Khalifa regime has recently granted Bahraini nationality to a number of Iraqi Ba'athists and of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein loyalists who had fled their country.
The Bahraini government arrests civilians who participate in peaceful demonstrations and tortures them in different ways every day. Even children have been killed by security forces during protests.
However, the US and Britain continue supporting the Bahraini regime.
The US Navy's Fifth Fleet is stationed in the Bahraini capital and has provided support for the Al Khalifa regime during months of crackdown on peaceful protesters in the Persian Gulf state.
Bahrain has been hit by a wave of anti-regime protests since mid-February 2011.
Dozens of demonstrators have been killed and hundreds wounded in the popular uprising in the Persian Gulf nation.
