New Martyr in Bahrain
The Bahraini police continues attacking civilians, thus, leading to a daily scoring of more martyrs.
News Agencies reported that the Bahraini police martyred the 22-year-old protester Ahmad Ismail Hassan near the Bahraini capital early on Saturday.
According to al-Wefaq opposition group, Hassan was wounded in the stomach when Bahraini authorities militia men, in civilian clothing, fired on protesters calling for "democracy and an end to dictatorship" in Salmabad.
"Doctors were unable to save him," the statement said adding that "regime militants carried out the shooting."
However, the interior ministry claimed in its statement that "the autopsy showed the bullet was not fired by Barhaini forces."
"The first results of the inquiry do not enable us to identify those responsible for the gunfire," it claimed.
Al-Wefaq's accusation came a week after the group said that a man and a woman died of asphyxiation caused by tear gas grenades fired by Bahrain's security forces to disperse protests in villages.
On Thursday, hundreds of protesters staged a sit-in outside the offices of the United Nations in Manama demanding action over the "excessive use of tear gas against demonstrators."
Bahraini police regularly clash with demonstrators who take to the streets in villages despite a brutal crackdown last year on protests that demanded democratic change in the tiny Gulf kingdom.
