Troops in Bahrain have fired live rounds to break up anti-government protesters. News outlets are reporting that at 25 people have been injured. Todays violent crackdown came as protesters left funerals for protesters killer earlier this week.

The protests, calling for human rights in the small Middle Eastern country, are part of widespread unrest in the Middle East and North Africa which Tunisia and has since resulted in a regime change in Egypt. For Bahrain, it also reflects an ongoing crack down on the rights of civil society to express and assemble that started months ago.

Civil society celebrates the decision to release the Morong 43 but concerned about delays

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 21 December 2010 -- CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation applauds the court order last Friday to free 43 health workers, but remains concerned that the immediate release of at least five of the health workers has been delayed due to the authorities' new claim of unrelated warrants against them.

The 43 health workers, collectively known as the "Morong 43", have been held in detention since February 6 for alleged support of the New People's Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
