Credit: Reuters/James Lawler Duggan By Lin Noueihed and Erika Solomon MANAMA | Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:35am EDT MANAMA (Reuters) - Bahrain cut curfew hours on Saturday and urged Bahrainis to return to work after a crackdown on mainly Shi'ite Muslim protesters this week raised tensions in the world's largest oil-producing region. The call came as a fourth protester died of wounds sustained when troops and police moved on Wednesday to end weeks of unrest that prompted the king to declare martial law and led to troops being sent from Bahrain's Sunni-ruled neighbor, Saudi Arabia. Bahrain's largest Shi'ite Muslim group, Wefaq, said the latest death brought the number of protesters killed since the start of the unrest last month to 11. Four police have also been killed this week, some of them mown down by protesters in cars. Sunni-ruled Bahrain has since arrested at least nine opposition activists, including two doctors from Manama's largest public hospital, which remains surrounded by troops who check identities and carry out regular searches. The ferocity of the crackdown, in which troops and police fanned out across Bahrain, imposed a curfew and banned all public gatherings and marches, has stunned Bahrain's Shi'ites and angered the region's non-Arab Shi'ite Muslim power, Iran. Mourners at the funeral of one of the protesters killed in this week's crackdown were defiant. Shaking their fists and shouting "down with King Hamad," thousands gathered at the burial of computer technician Ahmed Abdullah Ahsan in the Shi'ite suburb of Diah on Saturday. "I'm not angry. I'm proud of my son. He is a martyr," his mother said. "He wanted the end of this regime." Ahsan was buried in a plot near the first man killed in the uprising that began last month and whose grave was covered in flowers and photographs. As men lowered the body into the grave, the women, clad in black chadors broke off to hold a small protest at the side of the road. "Down with the regime," they shouted. Ahsan was the second protester to be buried this week, and police and troops have not intervened to disperse mourners despite a blanket ban on all public gatherings. BACK TO WORK In an effort to bring life gradually back to normal, Bahrain's military rulers cut back by four hours on Saturday a 12 hour curfew that had been imposed on large areas of the capital Manama. The curfew now runs from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. from the Seef Mall area in Manama, through the Pearl roundabout and the financial district to the diplomatic area. Bahrain also urged employees working in the public sector and both public and private sector schools and universities to return to work after days of closures and shortened hours. Some of the larger malls began to reopen on Saturday, after days of closures and there were fewer checkpoints in the streets, though helicopters still buzz over Shi'ite areas. On Friday, diggers tore down the statue at the center of Pearl roundabout, focal point of weeks of protests, in what the foreign minister said was an effort to erase "bad memories." 1 2 Next World Bahrain Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
