    Bahrain’s largest opposition group, the Islamist al Wefaq Society, said it was not planning to join the protests officially but supported the right to peaceful demonstrations.

    “I know that it is going to be a peaceful movement but, having said that, I also expect clashes between the government forces and the protesters, because they are against all protests and demonstrations,” Wefaq leader Sheikh Ali Salman told Reuters.

    Wefaq said in a report on its website late on Tuesday that security forces had ringed some areas with barbed wire and blocked some streets with concrete barriers. But by midday on Wednesday, only minor incidents were reported.

    MANAMA QUIET

    Vu l’ampleur du déploiement de forces de sécurité et le fait que le Wefaq n’a pas appelé à la manifestation, la mobilisation semble mesurée. 14August prévoit de l’étendre sur plusieurs jours. voir bahrainaugust14.com
