Bahraini forces attacked on Tuesday a memorial service for a teenage victim, who was shot dead by Al-Khalifa regime last week.

Regime forces fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of people who gathered in the village of Daih to pay tribute to Hussein al-Jaziri, the latest victim of Manama crackdown on protests, witnesses said.

They added that people who were taking part in the memorial service chanted slogans against Al-Khalifa family during the attack.

The 16-year-old boy was shot in the stomach by security forces during the demonstrations marking the second anniversary of the revolution in the Gulf state on Thursday.

Bahrainis have been staging demonstrations since mid-February 2011, demanding political reform and a constitutional monarchy, a demand that later changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.

Scores have been killed, many of them under torture while in custody, and thousands more detained since the popular uprising in Bahrain began.
