The protests in Bahrain became violent after demonstrators clashed with intervening police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowds. The reinforcements were also dispersed across the country to stop the protesters from blocking highways.

Bahrain, a small kingdom situated between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has been shaken by unrest since security forces crushed the 2011 protest movement. Protesters demanded a constitutional monarchy and an elected prime minister.
