Clashes have erupted in Bahrain ahead of today’s release of a report investigating the crackdown on the pro-democracy uprising earlier this year. The Bahraini monarchy commissioned the supposed independent probe after crushing the uprising with the help of Saudi troops. At least 26 people were killed, over 1,500 people were arrested, and thousands lost their jobs, after protests erupted in February. Bahraini activists have questioned the report’s credibility. The Bahraini monarchy is funding the probe and footing the bill for commission members to stay at the lavish Ritz-Carlton hotel and spa. Earlier today, Bahraini police reportedly fired tear gas at demonstrators after raiding a makeshift clinic near the capital, Manama.
