Riot police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds who had gathered in Bahrain’s western coastal town of Malkiya on Thursday to mark the two-year anniversary of the death of a young activist, witnesses reported on Twitter.

Police attacked marchers as they carried Bahraini flags and portraits of Abdulredha Buhmaid who was shot in the head on 19 February 2011 during an anti-government rally in the capital Manama. He succumbed to his wounds two days later.

Protesters in the northern isle of Sitra also held a march to mark the anniversary of the killing where they chanted anti-government slogans.

Separately Thursday evening, activists staged a spontaneous march through downtown Manama demanding the release of jailed rights activist Nabeel Rajab. …source
