Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Bahrain to mark the anniversary of the demolition of Shia mosques by the Al Khalifa regime.

The mass rally, which started on Friday in the northwestern village of Diraz and will end in the western village of Saar next week, was organized by the National Democratic opposition parties.

The weeklong protest was launched to mark the second anniversary of the regime’s destruction of 38 Shia mosques in the country.

The campaign, dubbed the Week of the Demolished Mosques, will include various popular events to defend the holy places in the Persian Gulf kingdom.
