Five protesters were killed and 286 arrested after police in Bahrain raided the hometown of a Shia Muslim spiritual leader who faces deportation.

Sheikh Isa Qassim was stripped of his citizenship last June, and last week a court gave him a year's suspended sentence for financial corruption.

Tuesday's violence comes just days after Donald Trump told King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa that he would improve relations between the two countries.

Their relationship has been strained for several years, despite the kingdom being host to the US Navy.

A crackdown on dissent over the last year has heightened tensions between the Shia majority and the Sunni rulers, and access to Diraz has been tightly controlled for months.

Bahrain accuses Iran of encouraging unrest by the country's Shia population, while Iran said Mr Trump's remarks about Tehran supporting militant groups were to blame for the deaths.
