(dpa) (http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/middleeast/news/article_1676163.php/Bahraini-youth-dies-after-being-run-over-by-police-car) - A 16-year-old Bahraini was killed Saturday morning when a police car crashed into him during a protest in the capital Manama.
Ali al-Satrawi died at the scene due to injuries sustained after being pinned under the police car before it crashed into a wall.
Authorities said the driver lost control after hitting a patch of oil in the narrow village street. Protesters alleged the police car intentionally attempted to run them over.
More then 40 people have been killed (http://bahrainrights.hopto.org/en/node/3864) so far in Bahrain since the protests began in February.
Saturday's incident occurred hours after the US and Britain warned their citizens about further unrest in the small Gulf island.
'We remain very concerned about the rising tension in Bahrain,' US embassy spokesman Mark Toner said Friday.
He said the extension of a travel alert reflected 'concern with the 'volatile situation on the ground.'
Clashes were reported across much of Bahrain Friday. Several arrests of protesters had been made.
Protesters are demanding political reform and greater freedoms in Sunni-ruled, Shi'ite majority Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy 5th Fleet Command.

It is ok.
It does not count.
We have different rules for Bahrain.
The Saudis are our friends so

Human Rights...Arab Spring:D

<mod>


"Twenty Bahraini medics who treated activists wounded during anti-government protests were jailed for between five and 15 years in sentences that were immediately denounced by medical bodies and human rights groups around the world.

The sentences were handed down by a military court set up to handle the trials, which stemmed from an Arab spring-inspired uprising in the country in February and March. It was crushed with the help of armies from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. Thirteen of the doctors and nurses received sentences of 15 years in prison, while another seven received terms of five to 10 years.

All of the accused were charged with committing crimes against the state, during an uprising they insist was peaceful and popularly inspired.

Most worked at the Salmaniya Medical Centre in Manama, which became a focal point of the tiny Gulf kingdom's uprising. Government officials claimed it had been transformed into a base for a plot to overthrow the 200-year-old monarchy.

The formal charges were for stealing medicine, possessing weapons and occupying a government hospital. The medics were also accused of "inciting hatred to the regime and insulting it, instigating hatred against another sect and obstructing the implementation of law, destroying public property and taking part in gatherings aimed at jeopardising the general security and committing crimes."

The doctors, all of whom denied the charges, were among dozens arrested for joining protests led by Bahrain's Shia majority against the government headed by the country's ruling Sunni minority."
