'Down with the king': Death of Bahraini in custody sparks angry dissent The death and alleged torture of a Bahraini man detained in connection with the war on Iran has sparked angry dissent in the Gulf state. Mohamed al-Mosawi, 32, went out with friends on 19 March to eat the morning suhoor meal during the last days of Ramadan. At some point, according to the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (Bird), Mosawi and six of his friends were detained at a checkpoint by authorities.
