FILE- In this Friday, March 21, 2014 file photo, Bahraini pro-democracy protesters wave signs and pictures of prisoners and people killed in three years of unrest as well as national flags during a march in Abu Saiba, west of the capital of Manama, Bahrain. In Bahrain, people are outraged over the shooting death of a 28-year-old woman in front of her 6-year-old, which activists say was carried out by a royal family member in December 2016. The accusation goes to the heart of lingering unrest on the island off the coast of Saudi Arabia, now five years on from its Arab Spring protests and in the grips of a renewed government crackdown on dissent.
