Fresh clashes came after an anti-government protester was found dead after violence overnight ahead of Sunday's grand prix, according to the opposition party Wefaq.

Wefaq said the body of Salah Abbas Habib, 37, was found on the roof of a building in the village of Shakhoura.

It claimed Mr Habib was part of a group who were chased and "brutally" beaten by police during the clashes, late on Friday night.

Wefaq, the leading party among Bahrain's majority Shi'ite Muslim population, published a photograph of Habib's body on a corrugated iron rooftop.

In a statement on Twitter, the interior ministry confirmed a body had been discovered in Shakhura, adding: "Police have begun an investigation."
