Bahrain unrest continues

TENS of thousands of anti-government protesters streamed through Bahrain’s diplomatic area and other neighbourhoods as demonstrations against the kingdom’s rulers showed no signs of easing.

At least three processions yesterday paralysed parts of the capital Manama.

Some of the marchers claim authorities still hold more than 200 political prisoners despite the release of about 100 political detainees last week. There were no reports of violence.
