MANAMA, Bahrain (

Agency) - Tens of thousands of Bahraini protesters wearing white shrouds surrounded the King Hamad palace, Safriya, Saturday and shouted calls for political freedom and the king's ouster a day after a similar march triggered a violent response from security forces.
There was no repeat of the violent scenes a day earlier when police backed by pro-government mobs drove crowds back from a different palace by firing rubber bullets and tear gas in a melee that injured more than thousands, according to witness accounts.
