Bahraini riot police attacked anti-government protesters with teargas on Monday after the funeral of a teenager killed by police last week, as violence in the Gulf state increases in the run-up to the anniversary of the uprising.
Bahrain’s Shi’ite Muslim majority has become fed up at the lack of reform and constant repression, this time blocking off streets and throwing petrol bombs. The protests began after the funeral of Mohammed Ibrahim Yacoub, was severely beaten by riot police after he was already taken into custody.
The Bahraini government is a long-time U.S. ally receiving continued economic and military support from the Obama administration, despite an extended reign of repression in response to pro-democracy demonstrations. A recent independent probe into the government’s response concluded also that torture was systemic for hundreds of detained Bahrainis.
The Obama administration has quietly moved forward with a new package of arms sales to the regime in Bahrain, after international pressure forced them to delay its planned $53 million arms sale. Using legal loopholes, they moved forward with the new sales without notifying the public.

So where is your democracy and why so quiet when it come to Kings and Queens and other Tyrants…
Please stop calling the protest in Bahrain " peaceful and demand democracy", they are terrorists to the first degree.What has to do bombing school to demand for democracy? or intimidating and killing of poor expatriates in cold blood to democracy? or throwing of petrol bombs to security police? can anyone tolerate, had it been done in the USA, or any other western nation?
Terrorists should have to be dealt with. The Governmnet has been very linient in playing the rule of law.People are nowasking for the Government to implement the laws in to effect, to curb the so called protesters.
Oh, please, shut up!
How about your government dealing with those terrorist that been sent to Syria and Libya, can you ask your government to answer this question, or better yet you ask the question and let us know.., you will see.
