Thousands Protest in Bahrain, Opposition Leader Returns 
--------------------------------------------------------



Protests meanwhile are continuing across the Middle East. In Bahrain,
thousands continue to flood the streets of the capital city of Manama.
On Sunday, demonstrators marched to a central court building in their
deepest foray into the city so far. The protests come as leading
Bahraini Shi'ite opposition leader Hassan Mushaimaa has returned from
exile. Mushaimaa was allowed to return after the protests forced the
Bahraini monarchy to issue royal pardons.

Hassan Mushaimaa: "Promising is not enough, we have to see something on
the ground, just by talking because different times, they promised
before but they did not do nothing for the nation of Bahrain."
