Bahrain, February 18. 2011. “Have you ever seen an island
 with no beaches?” The question posed by the young 
Bahraini taxi man standing among thousands of chanting
anti-government protesters seemed at first to be a bit off
 the wall. But his explanation soon got to the heart of the
 grievances that have brought tens of thousands of 
Bahrainis on to the streets over the past week –
 protests which have seen at least seven civilians killed
amid scenes of excessive violence by state security forces. 
 Unconfirmed reports put the death toll much higher.
