A pro-government group of parliamentarians is urging the King of Bahrain to impose martial law for three months as the country continues to face anti-government protests. The call comes in the wake of a day of clashes between protesters and security forces that resulted in more than 1,000 people hospitalized. At least two people lost their lives and five people were in critical condition. Reports say, capital Manama has been sealed off today. Protesters in the tiny island nation have been demonstrating for a month, with moderates demanding a constitutional monarchy and hardliners calling for the abolition of the royal family altogether.
