Manama: Three prominent civil rights activists say they have been targeted with death threats after demonstrations continue in Bahrain.
The threats came on the eve of an anti-government march on the Royal Court.
Protesters say the march was halted by what they called stone-throwing thugs, while security forces and police looked on.
The threats were allegedly made against Mohammed al-Maskati and Naji Fateel of the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights, and Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, of Human Rights Defenders.
Anonymous groups published full personal identification details including their names, phone numbers, home and work addresses, car registration and ID numbers along with their photos on Facebook and other social networking sites.
“These are the instigators of disorder who have organised the movements of sabotage. The heads of agitation and disorder in our beloved Bahrain need to be killed and liquidated,” one of the threats read.
