Police and protesters have clashed in Bahrain at the funeral of the activist who was killed during the Grand Prix weekend.
Bahraini protesters have set fire to the police's headquarters with petrol bombs after a funeral march for a man killed in clashes during the Gulf Arab state's Formula One race last week.
The violence spread onto a main highway next to the station as the police attempted to intervene with tear gas and stun grenades.
The clashes, in the Manama neighbourhood of al-Bilad al-Qadeem, took place after thousands of mourners visited the grave of Salah Abbas Habib, 36, who was found dead on Saturday after disappearing during fighting between protesters and police.
Demonstrators hurled petrol bombs during nightly clashes with the police who responded by firing teargas and rubber bullets.
Crowds of protesters hurled petrol bombs at police who fired tear gas back in Bahrain on Saturday on the eve of the Grand Prix.
Protesters have clashed with police in Bahrain as F1 bosses remained defiant and the country's leaders refused to "empower extremists."
