Protests take place as F1 arrives in Bahrain
Protestors make their voice known about the Bahrain Grand Prix as F1 personnel start to arrive in the Gulf state F1 personnel arriving in Bahrain for this weekend's Grand Prix have been greeted with protests from people keen to see the current government removed from power. A peaceful protest took place in the village of Al Dair close to the capital city Manama, with a number of F1 reporters making the short trip from the airport to see first hand what the protestors had to say. The Daily Telegraph F1 correspondent Tom Cary was amongst those to visit Al Dair where he was able to speak to people who gave the over-riding view that the race shouldn't take place. “I have two emotions,” one local man said. “One is that I am proud to have such a big event in Bahrain. But the other part of me feels shame. “You will be welcome here because you are guests in my country but you will be racing over blood this weekend.” With more violent protests having taken place elsewhere in the country, including in Salmabad where Daily Mirror reporter Byron Young and the Press Association's Ian Parkes were witness to more serious clashes, there remains concern over whether the race will pass without serious trouble. Quoted by Cary in The Telegraph, former Bahraini politician Jasim Husain – who represented the opposition group Al-Wefaq before quitting in protest at last year's demonstrations – said there was concern about what might happen. "I don't see lots of protests throughout the country, especially outside the vicinity of the racing area,” he said. "But yes, there is this fear, the fear is there that we could see some casualties. So it's now a challenge for the security forces who have to handle things properly. They should avoid using force. "Of course, people should be free to express their views, but the responsibility is with the authorities who have to show professionalism in managing any protest. The good thing is people are peaceful, protesters are peaceful, that violence is not really any particular part of the political challenge in the country. But things have to be handled properly by the authorities." Husain also expressed concern that the use of banners by the ruling regime stating 'UniF1ed – One Nation in Celebration' appeared to show that F1 was supporting the current rulers, with the race being used to suggest to the watching world that there is no cause for concern. “It should not be presented this way," he said. "F1 is a sport, an economic positive, and I hope neither side will see the race as a political tool. We do have political issues which have to be addressed, and F1 coming or not coming does not mean those problems will go away. "But certainly this is not a political event and should not have political implications. However, we are suffering from this problem because it is being presented this way. People are simply pressing for democratic reforms, and ensuring there is equal opportunity for all, to have real participation in decision making." |

Clashes hit Bahrain Formula One exhibit
Security forces fired stun grenades at anti-government protesters who swarmed into a cultural exhibition for the Bahrain Grand Prix on Wednesday, setting off street battles and sending visitors fleeing for cover.
It was a blow to the Gulf nation's efforts to project stability, returning to the Formula One calendar a year after the race was canceled because of unrest. The demonstration was the most direct attempt by protesters to bring their demands into events linked to Sunday's race, Bahrain's top international showcase. The resumption of the top-level auto race is being touted by Bahrain's rulers as a sign they have the upper hand after 14 months of clashes and crackdowns. Nearly 50 people have been killed since February 2011 in violence between security forces and protesters from Bahrain's Shiite majority, which seeks to break the near monopoly on power by the island nation's Sunni monarchy. Shiites account for about 70% of Bahrain's population, but claim they face widespread discrimination and are blocked from key political or military posts. The Sunni leaders have offered some reforms, but the opposition says they fall short of their demands. "Down, down Formula One," some protesters shouted in the traditional market area in Bahrain's capital, where displays set up for the F1 race featured local handicrafts, food and other items. The demonstrators also shouted messages of support for a jailed activist who has been on a hunger strike for more than two months. Some of the placards accused the USA - a close ally of Bahrain's leaders - of ignoring their struggle while backing with other reform movements in the Arab Spring. Washington has pressed Bahrain's rulers to open dialogue with opposition groups, but has been careful not to jeopardize its vital military ties with Bahrain as home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, one of the Pentagon's main counterweights to Iran in the Gulf. At the exhibition, riot police fired stun grenades and pepper spray as hundreds of protesters pressed close to the stalls and shops. Visitors ran for safety, leaving shopping bags and sandals on the road. Many shopkeepers closed early, another sign that unrest might mar hopes the F1 race could help the country's hard-hit businesses. There were no reports of injuries, but several protesters were detained. Earlier Wednesday, dozens of people confronted Bahrain's crown prince and shouted anti-government slogans in a neighborhood that has been an opposition stronghold during the 14-month uprising. Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa was not injured in the outburst, but it carried powerful symbolism because he is a key backer of the race. The crown prince was surrounded as he left a funeral of a Shiite executive who worked on one of his labour reform projects. The ceremony was in Sanabis, the site of frequent clashes between security forces and Shiite protesters seeking to break Sunni dynasty's tight grip on power. In London, two activists were arrested Tuesday after occupying the roof of the Bahraini Embassy and unfurling a banner bearing pictures of Al-Khawaja, a prisoner on hunger strike, and senior Shiite opposition leader Hassan Mushaima. Both are sentenced to life in prison. The protesters have been identified the protesters as Mushaima's son, Ali, and 30-year-old Moosa Satrawi. Al-Khawaja's wife, Khadija al-Musawi, told The Associated Press that his family is concerned about what she described as her husband's declining health. She said the family will hold the government responsible for his death in custody. In addition to refusing food for more than two months, al-Khadija said her husband is now also refusing IV drips and water. "I am really worried about him," al-Musawi said in a phone interview Wednesday. "The government wants my husband dead." biasanya rabu udah pada nongol di circuit team2 sm pembalapnya ini sampai kamis gak ada gambar satu pun |

Force India mechanics escape firebomb explosion
© Chris Lehourites, AP, 19 April 2012 © Force India A firebomb in Bahrain briefly delayed a Force India team vehicle returning to the hotel from the Grand Prix circuit Wednesday night. No one in the vehicle was injured. The bomb exploded in Bahrain's capital Manama, causing traffic that held up the Force India van carrying four team members but no Formula 1 drivers. "We were not the target. We just happened upon an incident that was ahead of us, a disruption in the road," Force India spokesman Will Hings told The Associated Press by telephone from Manama on Thursday. "Nobody was hurt from our team. We were not targeted directly by Molotov cocktails." Demonstrators in Bahrain have increasingly used firebombs against security forces during the near daily clashes. The Bahrain GP was cancelled last year due to anti-government protests that left nearly 50 dead. But last week, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone declared the Gulf kingdom safe and decided to go ahead with this year's race. On Wednesday, security forces fired stun grenades at anti-government protesters who swarmed into a cultural exhibition for the race, setting off street battles and sending visitors fleeing for cover. The demonstration was the most direct attempt by Shiite-led protesters to use events linked to Sunday's race to further their demands for an end to the near monopoly on power by the island nation's Sunni monarchy. Hings said the four team members were back at the track Thursday, but declined to comment on whether the team was worried about safety. "We've always taken our direction from the FIA, the sport's governing body. I'm sure they're continuing to monitor the situation in Bahrain," Hings said. "We take our guidance from them." Although last year's race was called off because of the unrest in the country, organizers have insisted that this year's race will be safe, and blamed extremist groups using "scare-mongering tactics" for raising doubts about the race. But protesters argue that F1's decision to return to Bahrain gives greater international legitimacy to the monarchy and its crackdowns, which rights activists claim have included waves of arrests in the past week. On the track, teams will be practicing Friday and Saturday before qualifying later Saturday. The race is scheduled for Sunday lebih baik dibatalin aja nih race |
