Bahraini Police Break Up Protest Near Manama -- Al Jazeera
Police use tear gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of protesters, days before two-year anniversary of uprising.
Bahraini police have fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse protesters trying to march to Pearl Roundabout, the now-crushed symbol of the pro-democracy uprising that began nearly two years ago.
Hundreds of people marched towards the square in the capital Manama carrying Bahraini flags and chanting, "square of martyrdom, we all still have the will."
The protest was called by the February 14 coalition, a loosely-organised group of mostly young protesters.
"Down with the corrupt government," the demonstrators chanted. "Khalifa resign," they called, referring to the king's uncle Prince Khalifa bin Salman, who has been prime minister for four decades.
