(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The father of slain Bahraini teenager Husam al-Haddad says his son was brutally beaten to death by the country’s Interior Ministry personnel.
“Husam al-Hadad was martyred due to a severe strike on his head by eight passengers onboard a vehicle belonging to Bahrain’s Interior Ministry,” Mohammad Jassim al-Haddad said in an exclusive interview with the Al-Alam news channel on Monday.
He said he had called on the Interior Ministry officials to open a probe into the killing of his son, arguing that Husam was not killed by shooting, but beaten severely to death.
According to the constitution, I have the right to file a complaint against the perpetrators, he noted. "If the Judiciary of Bahrain does not allow me to lodge a complaint, I will file a lawsuit against my son's murderers outside the country."
The 16-year-old was beat to death for attending a peaceful demonstration in Manama and holding up Palestine's flag to mark the International Quds Day and show solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry confirmed Haddad’s death following the incident.
More than 90 people have been martyred and many others injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on the peaceful protests in Bahrain.
