Bahrain. Tens of thousands of protesters have gathered near Manama to start a week-long sit in (#MeqshaSitIn) to call for human rights and release of political prisoners.

Speaking to a crowd outside the capital, Bahraini dissident poet Ayat al-Qormozi said:

This is a dress rehearsal for the return. We will return! We will return! Soon our sit-in will not be here but at the Pearl Roundabout
