Earlier this year, VICE News correspondent Ben Anderson traveled to
Bahrain undercover to document the ongoing protests there. Bahrainis —
inspired by the Arab Spring — have been taking to the streets every
night for almost four years, calling for democracy.
One of the
people Ben interviewed was Yousif Badah. His son, Ali Badah, was killed
while protesting three years ago, when a police SUV repeatedly ran into
him, pinning him against a wall.
On the third anniversary of his
son's death, Yousif and others held a vigil for Ali. That vigil turned
into a march, and was similarly met with police violence, this time
resulting in injury to Yousif himself.
