Bahraini Shi’ite Muslims clash with security forces

Bahraini Shiite Muslim protestors run towards riot police holding petrol bombs during clashes following the funeral of Habib Ebrahim Abdullah on January 13, 2013 in the village of Malikiyah, south of Manama. Abdullah, 88, died at hospital after developing respiratory complications and his relatives claim that his death is due to the inhalation of poisonous tear gas that riot police used during a protest in October 2012.

Well, you've really gone out of your way to select pictures to put protestors in a bad light. The head coverings are for protection from tear gas. The molotovs are to give people time to run away from police so they are not shot. Why don't we ever see any of the thousands of pictures of police beating protestors? If you're not sure where to find them, go on youtube. Or visit a Bahrain prison to visit the photographers and journalists who have been arrested for trying to report police abuse.
