Mideast Bahrain Trial
Bahraini police surround female relatives of defendants in a high-profile trial of 23 men accused in a terror plot outside the Manama, Bahrain, courthouse on Thursday, Nov. 25, 2010. Many people were not allowed inside the trial session, including some human rights activists. The arrests and trial of the 23 human rights activists, bloggers and clerics, who told the judge they had been tortured, has stirred up the simmering unrest in Shiite Muslim areas of the Sunni-ruled Persian Gulf island nation. The trial resumes Dec. 9. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali)
