Unrest in Bahrain escalates

As Saudi forces moved into Bahrain, a crackdown was launched upon protesters at the Pearl Roundabout. At least two people were killed, medical facilities were blocked (even doctors were not let out), and protesters arrested.  Shops and malls were closed as soldiers occupied the streets. Some clashes continued, but much less than before. The Bahrain army warned protesters not to gather.

Opposition leaders Hasssan Mushaima, Ibrahim Sharif (head of Waad political society), and Abdud Jalil al-Singace were arrested overnight.
