Bahrain Regime Targets a Child with Birdshot, Leaves Him to Bleed to Death

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahraini regime forces killed Ali Hussain Ni’ma, 17 years old, targeting him with birdshot at close range in the village of Saddad, where pro-democracy protests took to streets.

A Bahraini teenager, Ali Hussein Ni'ma, injured by bullets fired by the Saudi-backed regime forces has died of his wounds. The 17-year-old boy was injured after police fired birdshots at protesters in the village of Sadad on Friday.

The teenager sustained severe injury and was left to bleed to death in the forces’ custody.

The murder of the teenager by the regime, takes place just hours after Bahrain chooses a member in the UNs Human Rights Consultants, and only days after the its misleading lies to the international community in Geneva.

The Bahraini revolution began in mid-February 2011, when the people, inspired by the popular revolutions that toppled the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt, started holding massive demonstrations.

The Bahraini government promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring Persian Gulf states.

Dozens of people have been killed in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accused of treating injured revolutionaries.

The regime kills citizens in cold blood, in their neighborhoods, and keeps their bodies until false statements are presented to cover the crime.
