Bahrain braces for protests amid security clampdown
In Manama anti-government activists plan nationwide protests inspired by Egypt’s movement. Authorities vow to confront large demonstrations, with barriers and checkpoints around Pearl Square and dozens of riot police on standby. Rights groups say at least 60 people have died since 2011 amid sectarian tensions in the Gulf kingdom that hosts the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. The U.S. State Department urged restraint and dialogue, and the U.S. Embassy in Bahrain was closed due to violence concerns.
