(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Another Bahraini protester has been martyred due to tear gas inhalation as tens of thousands of people attend the funeral procession of the victim of Wednesday's violence.
The victim identified as Seyyed Saleh Al-Hallai died on Friday after suffering tear gas inhalation one day earlier.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Bahrainis attend the funeral procession of Seyyed Jawad Hashem in the island city of Sitra following the Friday Prayers.
"Sooner or later, the people will achieve victory," the mourners chanted.
Eyewitnesses say regime forces fired tear gas, and rubber bullets and also used stun grenades to disperse the mourners and that many people were wounded in the attack.
Seyyed Jawad Hashem, who inhaled tear gas fired into his home by regime forces on Monday, died on Wednesday night.
The Manama government, however claims that Jawad had died from "acute respiratory" problems as a result of sickle cell disease.
Bahrainis have been holding anti-government rallies since mid-February, demanding an end to the 40-year Al Khalifa rule.
The number of martyred persons reached to 43 and hundreds more have been arrested in a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain, home to a huge American military installation for the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf.
