Pictures of a crackdown by heavily armed police on protesters in Bahrain appear to be similar to many others during the Arab Spring. This time the weapons, as well as the tactics, that have been imported from the UK.
Activists trying to mark the one-year anniversary of a pro-democracy uprising in Bahrain were dispersed with tear gas and stun grenades – exactly like it was done with the first anti-government protests one year ago.
RT’s Ivor Bennett reports that former top British policeman John Yates has been appointed to reform the police of Bahrain.
But RT fears the promised reforms have not gone far enough as police in Bahrain continue to use tear gas and armoured cars in their efforts to quell protest.
