TOPSHOTS Bahraini protestors wave their national flag as they stand behind barbed wire placed by riot police during demonstration against the ruling regime in the village of Shakhora, west of Manama, on August 14, 2013.. Bahraini police headed off a protest against Gulf kingdom's Sunni rulers that the Shiite-led opposition activists called for near the US embassy in defiance of a ban. The police deployment prevented protesters from reaching the spot designated by the Bahrain Rebellion Movement, Tamarod, for the main rally outside the US embassy in the capital Manama.
