Its surprising as to why there has been very little activity in Bahrain. Having a majority Shia population with an unpopular 'Sunni' regime, the first place likely to see a similar revolt to that of Tunisia should have been Bahrain.

Im not very surprised. The violent demonstration were 2 months ago. The people are a bit worn out i think. Things are getting harder for the shia in bahrain. I dont know if they are the majority anymore. In 2000 the population was 650,000 and now its 1,200,000 according to the Govt. This is because of the naturalization of sunnis from anywhere. If the Shia made 70% of the population in 2000 i wouldn't be surprised that its 50% now.

A Yemeni sunni i know told me that back in yemen there were posters "Come to bahrain we will give you a job, house". Theres a document on youtube how they are naturalizing saudis. Just google Bahrain Naturalization.

Bahrain's security forces have set up checkpoints to monitor people's movements as opposition groups blanketed social media sites with calls to stage the first major anti-government protests in the Gulf since the uprising in Egypt.

Units patrolled shopping centres and other key spots in a clear warning against holding Monday's rally, which has been the focus of social media appeals and text messages for more than a week.

One cartoon posted on a Bahraini blog showed three arms holding aloft a mobile phone and the symbols of Facebook and Twitter.

The decision by Shia-led opposition groups and others to call for demonstrations on February 14 is symbolic as it is the anniversary of Bahrain's 2002 constitution, which brought some pro-democracy reforms such as an elected parliament.

A Facebook page calling for a revolution in Bahrain on Monday has nearly 14,000 followers, and an emailed schedule of protests and demonstrations is also being circulated.

The developments came as the AP news agency reported that riot police had clashed with a small group of youths who staged a march following a wedding ceremony in Karzakan, a Shia village in the west.

An AP photographer said he had seen several people injured and others gasping from tear gas.

Shia discontent

Sunday's wide-ranging clampdown appeared directed toward Bahrain's Shia majority, which has led the drive for Monday's rallies.

Bahrain's Sunni rulers have already given out cash and promised greater media reforms in an effort to quell discontent.

In an open letter to the king, the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights has called for wide-ranging reforms to avoid a "worst-case scenario", including the dismantling of the security forces, the prosecution of state officials for abuses and the release of 450 jailed activists, religious leaders and others.

The tiny kingdom is among the most politically volatile in the Gulf and holds important strategic value for the West as the home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet.

Bahrain's Shias , which account for nearly 70 per cent of the total popualtion, have long complained of systematic discrimination by the ruling Sunni dynasty, whose crackdown on dissent last year touched off riots and clashes.

Concessions

Bahrain's leaders have stepped in with some concessions to try to defuse tension.

Government media monitors began talks on Sunday with newspaper publishers and others to draft new rules to limit state controls.

The official Bahrain News Agency has also launched a new multimedia service that includes social media applications to seek more outreach.

Activists and rights groups have often had to contend with widespread blocks on websites and blogs.

On Friday, hundreds of Bahrainis and Egyptian nationals went out in the streets chanting and dancing near the Egyptian Embassy in Manama moments after Hosni Mubarak stepped down as Egypt's president.

Bahraini authorities quickly set up roadblocks to contain the crowds.

The chances for confrontation in Bahrain have been further elevated by the ongoing trial of 25 Shia activists - including two charged in absentia - accused of plotting against the state.

The detainees have alleged police torture and being made to sign forced confessions, but the court has moved ahead with the proceedings. The next session is scheduled for February 24.

This is the chance for the Bahraini Shias to rise. The whole world has its eyes on the Middle East. I hope they do better than burning some tires.

i heard bahrani regime announced to give some money to all bahranis and year long supply to stop people from protesting .. such thing from one person in chat

how true is that

Yes, the government gave almost $3000 to each Bahraini family as incentive to stop them from protesting, but it's not working.

It's true. My cousins husband is Bahraini so he verified it. As they're afraid of the Bahrainis rebelling against them they have given each household 1000 Bahraini Dinars. Also, the majority of the population in Bahrain are Shia...

Inshallah they gain freedom from their oppressive rulers!

Is the $3000 already distributed or just promised? I hope every family receives the money first and then protest. lol

Once I remember watching a documentary, some Shia communities live in a very bad condition; it was really upsetting..poverty, unemployment and discrimination.
