2011. The beginning of the revolution in Bahrain
Five years ago, on February 14, 2011, the Arab Spring reached Bahrain. Demonstrations by the Shiite majority began in Manama, the capital of the country, demanding democratic change and the removal of the ruling Sunni dynasty from power. The revolution was crushed in mid-March after the entry of Saudi Arabian troops into Bahrain. In total, 84 people were killed during the demonstrations, more than 5,000 were injured and more than a thousand were arrested.
