Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini activists broadcasted photos on social media platforms, showing protesters burning the British flags, in a step manifesting their rejection to UK Prime Minister Theresa May's visit to Bahrain.
Other photos also published by activists, showed the British flag placed on the ground, with protesters stepping on it, while shouting out slogans against the Bahraini King, and denouncing the UK stance dubbed "complicit" with the Bahraini regime.
Hundreds of citizens had gathered (Tuesday December 6, 2016) in "Sitra, Azari, Shakhoura, Karzakan, Maamir, Sind, Aali, Bani Jamra, and other areas of Bahrain, in protest against May's visit, in response to a call by February 14 coalition.
The coalition considered in a statement (Monday December 5, 2016), that May's visit is a "cover for the crimes of some Gulf countries, including Bahrain, and a sign to the UK continuous domination on the country." Moreover, the coalition condemned the UK's continuous stance "against a nation and on the side of tribal dictatorship regimes."
