Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets on Friday to march through the streets of the capital, Manama, in support of an arrested politician.
Khalil al-Marzooq is being held on suspicion of inciting violence, with tension remaining high in the country between a government promising reform and thousands of people looking for greater political change.
Friday’s demonstration followed hours of scuffles between police and protesters in the villages surrounding Manama.
