Manama: A Bahraini protester hurls a Molotov cocktail towards police in Sehla village on the outskirts of the capital Manama on Thursday night.

Three cars and a carpentry workshop were burned in Sehla village during clashes between police and protesters after anti-riot police intervened to end a sit-in calling for the release of more than 30 detainees held between late December and early May on charges of killing a policeman and setting several police cars and private property on fire.
