A protester throws a paint bottle at a riot police armoured personnel carrier during clashes in the village of Bilad al-Qadeem, south of Manama January 16, 2015. Protesters clashed with riot police as they called for the immediate release of Bahrain's main opposition party al-Wefaq's General Secretary Sheikh Ali Salman, who was arrested on December 28, 2014, after leading a protest rally against elections that were held in November and which his party boycotted, prompting U.S. criticism. Salman's lawyer, Abdulla al-Shamlawi told Reuters he had been formally charged by the public prosecutor with inciting a change of government by force, inciting hatred of a segment of society, inciting others to break the law and publicly insulting the Interior Ministry.
