The latest news on the most recent Arab country mired in political upheaval and unrest.
Protesters who were camped in the square overnight described police swarming in through a cloud of eye-stinging tear gas. Many families were separated in the chaos. An Associated Press photographer saw police rounding up lost children and taking them into vehicles.
The Egypt-inspired protests began Monday as a cry for the country’s Sunni monarchy to loosen its grip, including hand-picking most top government posts, and open more opportunities for the country’s majority Shiites, who have long complained of being blocked from decision-making roles or key posts in the military.
But the uprising’s demands have steadily grown bolder. Many protesters called for the government to provide more jobs and better housing, free all political detainees and abolish a system that offers Bahraini citizenship to Sunnis from around the Middle East as a way to close the population gap with Shiites, who account for 70 percent of the population.
