own government and the Syi’ah followers are demanded equality. The Syi’ah people
had done protest since 14 February and it all ran smoothly until in the night of 17

22 February half of Bahrain people were doing protest and doing marching in around
the city. Human Rights Watch and Al-Wifaq established alliance with United Nations
