Thousands in Bahrain Protest against 'Torture'
[An Nahar] Thousands of partisans of Bahrain's opposition demonstrated near Manama on Friday to protest against the alleged torture of tossed in the slammerDrop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! regime opponents, witnesses said. Gathered around the Shiite village of Daih, men and women waved Bahrain's national flag and held up signs that read: "Manama, capital of torture," the witnesses said. "Torture is a practice rooted in the security agencies," in Bahrain, the main Shiite opposition bloc Al-Wefaq said in a statement. It charged that a tug-of-war is underway in Sunni-ruled Bahrain between "a political majority demanding a democratic transition and a hard core dictatorship that refuses any change."
