Five people were killed in Bahrain on Tuesday after the police raided a protest by supporters of a top cleric in a Shiite village, the interior ministry said.
"Five deaths have been registered among the outlaws" in Diraz, near the capital of Manama, where the police fired on the sit-in outside the home of cleric Isa Qassim, the ministry said in a Twitter message.
Earlier Tuesday, the Britain-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) had announced one death as the police moved to disperse the long-running protest.
