On Monday, Bahrain riot police raided several houses in the besieged island of Sitra, taking away dozens of protesters, who have been taking part in anti-government rallies.
Sitra has long been the center of protests against the Al Khalifa regime and the opposition calls it the “Capital of Revolution.”
Since February 2011, when anti-government protests began in the Persian Gulf kingdom many deaths have occurred in Sitra which is predominantly Shia town.
Anti-regime demonstrators hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death of protesters during the popular uprising.
Bahraini activists say six people have been killed during nationwide anti-regime demonstrations since March 17, 2012.
