Saudi protesters have held demonstrations in the oil-rich Eastern Province town of Qatif to mark the first anniversary of the popular revolution in Bahrain, Press TV reports.
On Tuesday, the demonstrators showed solidarity with Bahraini revolutionaries and condemned the brutal crackdown on Bahraini protesters by Saudi-backed forces.
They also slammed the Saudi regime for its March 2011 military invasion of Bahrain to help crush the uprising.
Bahrainis themselves are also marking the anniversary of the revolution against the US and Saudi-backed Al Khalifa regime. Since Monday, clashes have escalated across the country between the regime forces and protesters, who have defied heavy security presence in different parts of the sheikdom.
Scores of the Bahraini protesters have been killed so far during violent Manama-sanctioned campaign of suppression.
Saudi anti-regime activists had declared Saturday a day of public mourning as two Saudi protesters had been killed and several others injured on Thursday and Friday by regime forces in different regions of the province.
The show of popular outrage in the conservative kingdom comes despite the Riyadh regime’s having strictly banned all demonstrations.
