2. Organizing protests and sit-ins

The next favourite pass time in Bahrain is organising small protests and sit-ins for anything and everything under the sun. Like in demonstrations, such activities are banned in Bahrain. When things get nasty, riot police attack the protesters with rubber bullets and expired tear gas canisters. The fog seen in the picture above isn’t a climatic phenomena and the boys aren’t cowering because they are afraid of the boogie man who will rise from the swamp and gobble them up for dinner. Such events are also usually organised on weekends and holidays.
