Bahrainis Call on UN to Hear Plea

Description:Hundreds of Bahrainis call on the UN to hear their words in what they say is an absence of human rights in the Gulf state. Earlier in the year, thousands of mainly Shi'ites marched through the streets. They were demanding political change, to limit the power of the ruling Sunni Al-Khalifa family. Bahrain called in troops from Saudi Arabia among other states as it cracked down on protests. There has been no progress in talks between the government and opposition groups on political reforms.
