Bahraini authorities have started granting limited access to Al-Eker village which has been under a state of near-siege since a policeman was killed in an explosion at a pro-democracy demonstration.
Seven people have been detained over the killing. Human rights activists were prevented access to the village to investigate reports of house raids, arrests and violence by security forces.
Authorities in Bahrain have fired tear gas to disperse more than 200 protesters trying to enter a village.

Opposition activists described conditions in Al-Eker, just 12 miles south of the capital Manama, as "a medieval, barbaric case of collective punishment".

Die Ortschaft Al-Eker steht seit mindestens 4 Tagen unter Belagerung. Nun werden wohl vereinzelte Warentransfers zugelassen. Ansonsten kommt niemand rein oder raus. Im Ort selber finden wohl großangelegte Razzien gegen Regimegegner statt.
