Bahrain's main opposition party, al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, say a Bahraini woman has succumbed to gunshot wounds she had earlier sustained to her neck.
Bahiya al-Aradi martyred on Tuesday and her funeral is to be held today at 3 pm.
The dispatch of troops from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf allies of Bahrain has highlighted concerns about possible spillover of the uprising in the country, where month-old protest rallies seek to end the Western-backed government's monopoly on power.
Saudi and other Arab rulers fear that any concession by Bahrain's rulers could embolden more protests against their own despotic rules.
Recently, mass protests in Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have also demanded government reforms.
