In the forth day of Violent Crackdown on protesters, Bahrain buries the fifth victim since BICI report<\/p>\n

18 December, 2011 – BCHR <\/p>\n

(AP) \u2014Police in Bahrain on Sunday fired tear gas at thousands of demonstrators chanting anti-government slogans after the funeral of an elderly man who witnesses say died from tear gas inhalation.<\/p>\n

The unrest Sunday is the fourth straight day of clashes between opposition supporters and security forces along a main highway west of the Bahraini capital Manama. At least 40 people have been killed since February, when Bahrain’s Shiite majority started campaigning for more rights from Sunni rulers in the Gulf kingdom that is the home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.<\/p>\n
