Several protesters were injured as Bahraini regime forces fired tear gas at dozens of peaceful demonstrators ahead of the anniversary of the revolution in the Kingdom.

"Three people were severely wounded by tear gas canisters" fired at protesters on Friday, said the source who requested anonymity.
Several others suffered from breathing difficulties after inhaling the gas.

Protests took off from neighborhoods in Manama as well as from the villages of Duraz, Northen Sehla, Sitra, Sanad, Demistan, Bilad al-Qadeem, Aali, Malikya, Tashan, Maameer, and Adhari, the prominent opposition formation Al-Wefaq said in statement.

Bahraini forces "are excessively using tear gas to punish residents in areas where protests are taking place," said the opposition activist.

Meanwhile, the party reported late on Friday that regime forces have fired gaseous bombs at the house of al-Wefaq head, Shiekh Ali Salman.

The party said, however that sheikh Salman was in a good situation after he inhaled some toxic gases.
