The report also added that Bahraini security forces attack and beat medical workers who are helping the victims on Thursday.
Pro-democracy uprising in Bahrain has entered its fourth day, as protesters, inspired by revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia, have taken to the streets to protest against the government's dictatorial policies.

According to witnesses, the nearby roads have almost been cleared of civilian traffic.
Security forces have also put up barbed wire around Pearl Square.
On Thursday, security forces raided the protesters camped out in Pearl Square in central Manama and fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the people to disperse them, Reuters reported.
More than 15 Shia protesters were martyred in the incident.
