ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Police in Bahrain used water cannon and tear gas on Friday to disperse hundreds of protesters after a memorial for a Shi'ite man jailed over last year's pro-democracy uprising, witnesses said.
Clashes erupted when police tried to stop protesters reaching Pearl Roundabout, the focus of the mass protests that began in February last year. One water cannon caught fire as protesters threw petrol bombs and stones and a policeman was injured, witnesses said.
