Yemen, Syria, Bahrain (and Beyond) LiveBlog: The Blood Flows in Sana'a
1932 GMT: Expect another busy day in Bahrain tomorrow as well. The 14 February Movement has planned a large protest tomorrow. In a statement (click the thumbnail below) they said:
The busiest roads in Manama will be peacefully beseiged with thousands of cars to press the regime of Bahrain to meet the demands of the people of Bahrain for freedom and true democracy.
The regime of Bahrain have been long ignoring the legitimate demands for freedom and true democracy... We have decided to start this protest on the International Day of Peace to affirm the peaceful attitude of our uprising since February 14, 2011 and refute the false accusations of the regime to our uprising that it was violent and sectarian.
1926 GMT: Yesterday we reported that all the roads into Sitra, Bahrain, were closed. This picture was reportedly shot today, showing concrete barriers that have been placed around the Pearl Roundabout in Manama, in an attempt to keep protesters out:
1924 GMT: An EA source in Bahrain gives this report, accompanied by a video:
Youth of AlAker organized a protests in solidarity with Yemen, which got attacked by police as usual

1918 GMT: This video was uploaded yesterday, and claims to show Bahraini riot police shooting tear gas at protesters. Are these well trained men who understand how to use non-lethal force weapons liker tear gas? Apparently not, as a police officer almost gets shot in the face by his team mate, and falls down while the protesters can be heard laughing. It seems funny, but the reckless use of tear gas is costing the Bahraini people lives.
