Shiite cleric slams Bahrain for 'fake democracy' (AP)

Supporters of the Shiite opposition Al-Wefaq society wave red-and-white Bahraini flags and a Yemeni flag during a rally Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011, in Tubli, Bahrain, near the capital of Manama. Al-Wefaq is boycotting by-elections Saturday to fill seats vacated by its 18 members of Parliament who quit in protest of the government's crackdown on protesters during a spring uprising in the Gulf island country. Yemeni flags also were visible at the rally in a show of support to Yemenis trying to overthrow their leadership.
