Basically in Jerusalem a Bahrain Grand Prix is coming up on Sunday, and its a pretty big event. And people are mad at the government because there is so much more important things going on than a grand prix. Theres masacres all the time but the government has other things to do apparantly. So people took to the streets and did a protest yesterday. The government was aware of this protest and sent a tweet saying any participation will be seen as illegal who attend will be seen as going againts the government and treated as an act of sabotage. That did not stop the people from protesting they were faced with stun grenades and tear gas. Opposition group Al Wefaq posted photos of protesters sprayed with what they said was birdshot.
