Bahrain cracks down on Shia dissent as Iran war tests kingdom

"There is widespread resentment, fear and terror in Bahrain, especially among Shias, who now feel targeted," said Naji Fateel, a Bahraini human rights defender whose own son was arrested this month. "These arbitrary measures are all directed at one sect only," added Fateel, who himself spent years behind bars. 'Fear and terror' Fateel's son Hussein and another man were arrested after filming themselves marching towards the US embassy in Bahrain's capital Manama, carrying a photo of Khamenei to protest his killing.
