''Tens of thousands join Bahrain protest against unity plans with Saudi Arabia''

From The Star


''Tens of thousands of protesters chanting “Bahrain is not for sale” jammed a major highway Friday to denounce proposals for closer unity between the unrest-torn Gulf kingdom and neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
The rally’s large turnout — demonstrators stretched for more than five kilometres along a main highway — underscored the strong backlash to efforts by Bahrain’s rulers to integrate key policies such as defence and foreign affairs with their powerful Saudi neighbour.''
