Hundreds of owners of small businesses in Bahrain demonstrated on Sunday in protest against a monthly tax they have to pay for each expatriate worker they hire.
The businessmen, many of them construction contractors, are unhappy with the ten dinars (26.5 dollars) per person monthly fee imposed on them by the Market Regulatory Authority, a government body, for their expatriate employees.
More than 1,000 business leaders took part in Sunday's protest, Ali Marhoun, head of the contractors' association, told AFP.
