Anti-monarchy protesters and relatives accompany the coffin with the corpse of protester Abdul Redha Mohammed Hassan, 32, who was shot in the head by security forces while trying to march to Pearl Square, during the burial ceremony in the village of Malkiya, Bahrain, 22 February 2011. Anti-government protesters called for a large demonstration in Pearl Square on 22 February, which has become the rallying point for demonstrators in the country since 14 February. Bahraini protesters, who have been inspired by successful anti-regime uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, initially called for democratic reform, but have now upped that call to nothing less than a regime change.
