Saudi-backed Bahraini security forces on Monday fired tear gas at peaceful anti-regime protesters in the village of Nuwaidrat as the brutal crackdown continues.

The attack comes as protesters have demanded an end to the Al Khalifa regime, complaining about injustice and discrimination.
There is no report on the number of casualties in the attack.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates deployed their first batch of military forces in Bahrain in mid-March.
Late last month, Saudi Arabia increased the number of it forces in Bahrain in an attempt to further help the ruling regime clamp down on anti-regime demonstrators.
Amnesty International has criticized the Al Khalifa regime for its violations of international law by brutally cracking down on peaceful protesters and activists.
Fired Bahraini workers demand jobs
Hundreds of workers in Bahrain have assembled outside the Ministry of Labor, demanding the government reinstate all unlawfully dismissed workers.
The recently-fired workers, who have been sacked for taking part in anti-regime demonstrations, gathered in front of the ministry in the Bahraini capital, Manama, on Monday.
The Bahraini government and state-linked firms have fired more than two thousand workers since late March, according to Human Rights Watch.
Meanwhile, people in the southern Bahraini city of Sitra held a funeral service for a protester who was killed on Sunday when regime troops fired tear gas to disperse anti-government demonstrators.
Bahraini regime tortures young boy
On Monday, Saudi-backed security forces in Bahrain abducted a teenager from his home and tortured him for two hours.
New footage has appeared, showing a teenage boy being violently treated by security forces in Bahrain, amid the continuing brutal crackdown on peaceful anti-government protests in the Persian Gulf sheikdom.
Bahraini human rights activists said the teenager, Ammar Medan, was forcefully abducted from his home early Monday by the Al Khalifa forces and was tortured for two hours.
Ammar was dumped on a street in the village of Diah after being tortured and is now in a coma, the activists said.
Chairman of Bahrain Center for Human Rights Nabeel Rajab has visited the young boy in the hospital.
Meanwhile, in the village of Sanabis, young Bahrainis have staged a rally, demanding the release of political prisoners.
On Sunday, anti-government protesters also held another rally in the northern village of Dair, calling on the ruling regime to free all those Bahrainis detained during months of protests.
The protesters also rejected the results of the regime-backed ""National Consensus Dialog"" in Bahrain.
In February, massive protests broke out in Bahrain, with people taking to the streets and calling for a constitutional monarchy -- a demand that later turned into calls for the regime's downfall.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates deployed military forces to Bahrain in mid-March to assist the Bahraini government in its brutal crackdown on the popular protests.
Bahrainis have nevertheless pledged to keep up their protests until their demands are met.
