Senior female Bahraini human rights activist Zainab al-Khawaja has been injured during a protest when she was hit by a teargas canister fired by regime forces, Press TV reports.
Bahrain has experienced almost daily demonstrations since mid-February 2011, through which the protesters demand political reforms and a constitutional monarchy.
The popular demand, however, gradually changed into an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores of people have also been killed and many others have been injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain.
