Bahraini Forces Martyred a 16-Year-Old Boy 'Hisam Mohammad al-Haddad' in Qods Day

Saudi-backed Bahraini forces have beaten to death a 16-year-old boy as anti-regime demonstrations continue across the Persian Gulf country.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Saudi-backed Bahraini forces have beaten to death a 16-year-old boy as anti-regime demonstrations continue across the Persian Gulf country.

Martyr Hisam Mohammad al-Haddad, 16, from Muhraq was shot and tortured to martyrdom when regime forces launched an attack on a peaceful demonstration on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan and the day of Qods.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry confirmed Haddad’s death.

Bahraini security forces used excessive force to disperse the protesters who had staged a demonstration to mark the international al-Quds Day in solidarity with Palestinian people.

Anti-regime demonstrations in Bahrain continue despite the heavy-handed crackdown by the security forces.

Meanwhile, a Bahraini court has sentenced human rights activist Nabil Rajab to “three years in jail over three cases of taking part in unauthorized protests.”

More than 95 people mostly Shias have been martyred and many others have been injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on the peaceful protests in Bahrain.
