A heavy police presence is seen through barbed wire strung Friday, Sept. 29, 2006, for a Manama, Bahrain, protest that drew about 7,000 Bahraini who demonstrated against what they say is a government strategy to grant citizenship to Sunni Muslims from other Arab countries to alter the country's demographics. With parliamentary elections drawing near, the issue has taken on new importance. Bahrain's Sunni Muslim monarchy reigns over a majority Shiite Muslim population.
