Bahrain: Protests After Funeral of Teenager Killed by Police
------------------------------------------------------------

In Bahrain, protests broke out after the funeral of a teenager
reportedly killed by police, who were trying to arrest him for
participating in protests. Seventeen-year-old Ali Abdulghani died Monday
in the hospital, four days after officers raided his family's house. He
was later found lying in the street, bleeding from a head injury, after
a police chase. Witnesses said he was hit by a police vehicle. On
Tuesday, funeral-goers blocked a road as police threw tear gas at the
crowd in the town of Shahrakan.
