Bahraini Forces Crack Down on Protester's Funeral 
--------------------------------------------------


 
In Bahrain, clashes erupted on Tuesday at the funeral of a protester
jailed during last year's pro-democracy uprising. The victim suffered
sickle cell disease and fellow demonstrators say he died after being
denied medical care. The unrest broke out after police stopped a crowd
of thousands of mourners from marching to the Pearl Roundabout, the
center of the uprising.
