Peninsula Shield Force
Hundreds of people again protested in Qatif and al-Awamiyah against the use of the Peninsula Shield Force troops from the six Gulf Cooperation Council states against the 2011 Bahraini uprising and for their own political rights and freedoms. "Thomson Reuters" stated that no riot police were seen at the Qatif demonstration. "Press TV" said that there was a heavy presence of security forces at both demonstrations, but no clashes or arrests occurred.
