Bahrain bans protests after cops tear gas & fire on rally

Bahraini authorities have banned all protest gatherings amid escalating clashes in the Gulf kingdom. It's the most sweeping attempt so far to quash anti-regime protests that've been going on in the country for nearly two years. The restrictions come after the country's police reportedly attacked anti-monarchy protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets in the capital Manama on Monday. Clashes in Bahrain occur almost daily, with around 80 people being killed since the unrest began. The country's under fire from human rights groups for its brutal crackdowns on pro-reform campaigners who are calling for more rights, jobs and education. RT gets more on this from political analyst Sreeram Chaulia.

It will never happen, because the Russian's only got rid of communism not zionism.

Hhahahaa Always amuses me how countries like Iran and Russia criticize "democracy" in other countries like Bahrain... that's pure hypocrisy

You can only judge if you acknowledge both sides. Bahrain's issue is entirely different than what you might think.

Dictatorship is the wrong word. It is called monarchies and they are not bad.

Qatar, Kuwait, UAE have good per capita income.

Oman is okay their Sultan likes his people. Bahrain Shia try to destroy the good government. Saudi Arabia only need more women rights and that is it.
