Demanding King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s ouster and constitutional reforms, the Bahraini demonstrators are continuing their protests across the tiny Persian Gulf country.
As a part of the Persian Gulf countries’ Peninsula Shield Force, more than 1,000 Saudi troops entered Bahrain on Sunday, a Saudi official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
On Sunday, media reports unveiled that the six-state (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is preparing to send military forces to crisis-hit Bahrain in an attempt to curb anti-government protests.
Nabeel al-Hamer, an adviser to the royal court, also confirmed that the kingdom asked the Arab states to send troops to Bahrain.
“Forces from the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council have arrived in Bahrain to maintain order and security,” the former information minister said on his Twitter feed late on Sunday.
The revelation came one day after Bahraini security forces stepped up their crackdown on the anti-government protesters who were trying to expand their rallies from the capital’s main square to the country’s main business hub.
Hundreds of the people have reportedly been wounded in the violence with live footage showing the forces shooting protesters at close range.
Demonstrators on Monday also blocked the main roads to the Financial Harbour business complex in the capital Manama.
There were also clashes at the University of Bahrain in the southern city of Sakhir on Monday.
At least seven protesters have been killed since the start of anti-regime protests in mid-February.
The new wave of crackdown came after US Defense Secretary Robert Gates made an unannounced visit to troubled Bahrain to reassure the monarchy about the United States’ full support.
The Persian Gulf state, mostly populated by Shia Muslims, has been ruled by Sunni kings for more than 200 years. The Shias have, however, long complained about being discriminated against by the government when it comes to employment opportunities and the right to public services.

Meanwhile, pro-regime vigilantes brandishing knives and clubs attacked the students at the university on Sunday.
“The regime is using thugs,” said Khalil Marzooq, a member of the main Shia opposition group.
