http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12535681Tens of thousands of Bahrainis have joined an anti-government rally in the capital, Manama.
"The people want the fall of the regime," protesters chanted on the first organised rally in the kingdom since protests erupted last week.
The protesters are putting the government under pressure, analysts say, extracting concessions such as the release of political prisoners.
Protesters have been inspired by events in Egypt and Tunisia.
The pro-democracy supporters remain camped out in Pearl Square, in the city centre, refusing to enter talks with the Crown Prince until their demands are met.
