Saudi-backed Bahraini forces have reportedly destroyed two more mosques in line with the country’s policy of demolishing Muslim religious sites.
One of the mosques was demolished in Karzakan and the other one in Salmabad on Monday, a Press TV correspondent reported.
Several mosques have been destroyed so far as part of the Saudi-backed crackdown against peaceful protesters.
On Sunday, security forces fired tear gas into several religious sites across the country and two mosques were demolished — one in Karzakan and another in A’ali.
Earlier this month, a video footage showed a mosque in the northern town of Kawarah destroyed in attacks by Saudi forces.
Earlier on Monday, Bahraini forces reportedly detained eight teachers and several pupils from a girl’s secondary school in the town of Hamad.
The new arrests came as Bahraini anti-government protesters are preparing to start the world’s largest joint hunger strike to show their anger at the regime’s crackdown.
The organizers have called on all Bahrainis around the world to begin a hunger strike from Monday in protest at the regime’s brutalities against the opposition.
In March, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait deployed their troops in Bahrain to reinforce the brutal armed clampdown against mass protests.
Scores of protesters have been killed and many others gone missing during the harsh crackdown.
