Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini authorities imposed strict security measures days ahead of the fifth anniversary of the start of the February 14 uprising, during which the opposition will hold a series of events and protests.

Heavy deployment of security forces was reported on Thursday (February 11, 2016) in many areas and main roads across the country, in addition to a number of security checkpoints, causing heavy traffic.

The opposition revolutionary forces had previously announced a protest program to take place over a period of three days under the slogan "Al-Nimr Rebellion" in the memory of the prominent Shiite Saudi cleric, well-known for supporting the Bahraini revolution, Sheikh Nimr Al-Nimr who was executed last month by Saudi authorities.
