protests. The Coalition continued publishing weekly schedules for protests. Each day of the week has its own protesting schedule and usually each day is divided into 2 parts. Activities are not limited to protesting in streets, but are very varied. Usually at the end of every week there is a big protest held on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Starting from June 30, 2011, the Coalition has called for 10 gatherings for the right of Self-determination. However, none of the sit ins were able to happen due to authorities crackdown which results in clashes with protesters. Relation with other youth movements The Coalition keeps close relation with other youth movements such February 14 Youth Movement and usually they support each other's protest schedule. For example, when February 14 Youth Movement asked protesters to participate in Dignity collar, the Coalition supported it, calling for wide participation. 2 weeks later an understanding was established with February 14 Youth Movement to change the protest name to Manama Tsunami which was completely organized by the Coalition. Opinion about "national dialogue" On May 31, the king of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, called for a national dialogue to resolve ongoing tensions. However the seriousness and effectiveness of the dialogue has been disputed by many opposition figures – it has even been referred to disparagingly as a "chitchat room". The Coalition said: "there is no way for us to accept a non-balanced dialogue that lacks all guarantees, we see this dialogue as a media tool which the regime aims to reduce the severity of popular and international pressures". Opinion about 2011 by-elections A parliamentary by-election was held in Bahrain on September 24, 2011 following the withdrawal of 18 members of the largest political party in parliament, al Wefaq, in protest at governmental actions during the Bahraini uprising (2011–present). The Coalition welcomed Al Wefaq and other opposition societies decision to boycott the parliamentary by-election to fill their seats and called them to stick to the basics of the revolution. Aftermath of the Uprising It was said that it became into a paramilitary organization following the Uprising and Shia insurgency.
