Bahrain Police Forcefully Disperse Shiite Protesters
2012-06-10
[An Nahar] Bahraini police maimed several people on Saturday morning when they fired sound bombs, tear gas and bird shot to disperse dozens who protested across several Shiite areas, witnesses said.

"Down Hamad," chanted dozens of supporters of the youth group of the "Revolution of February 14," referring to Bahrain's Sunni monarch. "The people want to overthrow the regime."

"We have the right to choose our destiny," they chanted, waving the kingdom's red and white flag.

Please don't kill me!
in hospital.

Hundreds took part in similar protests near Manama on Friday calling for the release of opposition detainees, witnesses said.

#3  Compare wid DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > POSTER OPINION: SHOULD SAUDI SHIAS GET THEIR INDEPENDENCE?, espec as most of the KSA's oil is widin Shia-dominated/majority local areas.

Not unlike Rising China in the East-South China Seas, as regional Shia Muslim unrests continues + escalates?, THE US-WORLD SHOULD EXPECT RISING IRAN TO EVENTUALLY STOP USING "SOFT" OR MIXED "SOFT-HARD" POWER + INSTEAD BECOME STEADILY, INCREASINGLY "HARD" = MILITARILY/
MILPOL "AGGRESSIVE" IFF NOT ABSOLUT BELLICOSE???
