(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Security forces in Bahrain have reportedly killed a male teenager amid continuing crackdown on the popular revolution around the country.
Fifteen-year-old Sayed Ahmed died from a headshot in the village of Saar on Wednesday, Bahrain's Al Wefaq political party announced on its page on the social networking website Facebook.
The regime's forces were spotted while using violence against the protesting public in the villages of Diraz, Nuwaidrat and Sanabis as well as the town of Belad Al Qadeem.
The police fired tear gas to disperse a small protest in Diraz. The forces had placed several villages near the capital under siege.
The revolution started to sweep throughout the Shia-majority Persian Gulf island on February 14, calling for the ouster of the 230-year-old Sunni-led monarchy as well as constitutional reforms.
The government, which has launched indiscriminate armed attacks on peaceful protesters, recently enlisted the support of police and military units from Saudi Arabia and the United Arabia Emirates.
At least 25 people have been martyred and about 1,000 others injured during the government-sanctioned violence.
Also on Wednesday, the Human Rights Watch accused Bahraini forces of using violence against people that had already received injuries during earlier attacks.
The rights body also announced that it has documented several cases in which the forces had "severely harassed or beaten" patients under medical care in the country's Salmaniya hospital in Manama.
