Two Bahraini anti-government protesters have been killed over the past 24 hours in the Persian Gulf island as Saudi-backed regime forces continue their brutal crackdown.

Salman Abu Idriss was arrested along with hundreds of others during anti-regime protests a few months ago. Activists say he had been brutally beaten and died in hospital of his injuries.

Thousands of mourners attended the funeral procession of the 63-year-old activist in the capital.

The other victim, a female anti-government activist named Zeinab al-Tajar, was killed the day before after suffering the effects of teargas inhalation.

Meanwhile, witnesses say many people were wounded after Saudi-backed Bahraini troops fired teargas and rubber bullets on anti-government protesters in the village of Sanabis on Friday.
