New footage coming from Bahrain shows protester beaten brutally to death by troops in capital Manama
New footage coming from Bahrain showed a protester has been beaten brutally to death by troops in the capital Manama, a report carried out by Press TV said Monday. Officials in Salmaniyah hospital have pronounced the mentioned protester clinically dead, the report added.
According to Press TV, other footage from the same hospital indicates two protesters are being brutally beaten by Bahraini troops as well. The victims are shown to have sustained severe injuries in their heads and legs.
On Sunday, Bahraini forces stormed into an all-girls' school in the north of the country as part of the government's violent crackdown on popular revolution that has engulfed the Persian Gulf state since mid-February.
Eyewitnesses were quoted by Press TV as saying that the forces took away several teachers during the attack on the secondary school, located in the Hamad Town.
The latest developments in Bahrain come amid continued thousands-strong peaceful protests across the volatile state. The protesters have been calling for a constitutional monarch.
Since the beginning of the unrest, thousands of anti-government protesters have poured into the streets of Bahrain, calling for an end to Al Khalifa dynasty. But dozens of people have been killed and hundreds arrested so far during the government clampdown on the peaceful demonstrations.
Rights groups say government forces have even raided hospitals and tortured doctors and patients as part of their efforts to suppress the protests and over 30 medical workers have gone missing.
Amnesty International says it is concerned about the fate of missing activists and the fact that detained protesters are being tortured with impunity.
