Protestors in Diala urge Arab League to protect Bahraini people
DIALA / Aswat al-Iraq: More than 5,000 persons staged on Friday a massive protest to show solidarity with the Bahraini people, urging the Arab League to intervene and protect them.
Sorry, the Arab League is busy right now protecting the people of Libya...
The demonstration started from Jadiedat al-Shatt region on the road linking between Diala and Baghdad. They raised banners to support Bahrainis and to urge the Arab League to intervene.

A number of clerics, public figures took part in the demonstration, according to Aswat al-Iraq news agency correspondent.

Amnesty International on Thursday accused Bahrain of using shotguns, tear gas and rubber bullets to subdue protesters. Security forces have used "excessive force," leading to the killing of eight people in recent violence, Amnesty said in a report.
I'll bet they did more than that...
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay "is deeply alarmed by the escalation of violence by security forces in Bahrain," a statement from her office said Thursday.
