(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Saudi-backed Bahraini forces attacked anti-government protesters, who took to the streets of Manama to mourn the death of a teenage activist killed by regime force.
Witnesses say thousands of Bahrainis took to the streets in the town of Abu Saiba near the Bahraini capital on Monday to mourn the death of 16-year old Ahmed Jaber al-Qattan who was shot dead by security forces four days earlier.
Several people were injured after regime forces tried to disperse the crowd who were also chanting anti-government slogans.
Al-Qattan was shot in the chest at close range in Abu Saiba on Thursday after security forces attacked a group of around 20 youths chanting anti-government slogans.
His death sparked numerous protests across Bahrain, all of which witnessed a heavy crackdown by Saudi-backed security forces.
Al-Qattan's is the latest victim of brutal attacks on anti-regime protesters by Saudi-backed forces in Bahrain. In August, regime forces killed 14-year-old Ali Jawad by shooting a tear gas canister at his head during a protest held following Eid al-Fitr prayers in the city of Sitra.
