Clashes break out between police and protesters in Bahrain.<br/> <br />Riot police used water cannons to disperse hundreds of protesters, who responded by throwing what appeared to be petrol bombs.<br/> <br />The protesters were from the February 14 Youth Coalition, a movement formed since last year's uprising, seeking to overthrow the ruling family.<br/> <br />Bahrain police media posted these images on their website. Reuters cannot independently verify the video.<br/> <br />The clashes erupted in a series of 10 protests organised by opposition parties and granted permission by authorities.<br/> <br />In the district of Jidhafs, on the edge of Manama, protesters march following the burial of a woman said to have died from tear gas. Reuters is unable to verify this material.<br/> <br />Activists say at least 33 people have died since June, with daily clashes taking place in Shi'ite districts, as the government tries to lock in protesters and prevent any build-up of mass movement in the capital.<br/> <br />Police maintain that they are showing restraint in the face of violence.<br/> <br />Some Sunni groups in Bahrain are threatened that the Shi-ite led opposition is using street violence to seize power.<br/> <br />Michaela Cabrera, Reuters.
