22-year-old protester killed in Bahrain

The young demonstrator, Ahmed Ismail al-Samadi, was reportedly shot and killed by regime forces in the village of Salmabad outside the capital, Manama, during a peaceful anti-government protest on Friday.

Regime forces on Friday continued their crackdown on the peaceful demonstrations in the Arab country, attacking protesters around the capital Manama and injuring several people in different areas, according to activists.

Bahraini forces, backed by Saudi troops, have killed scores of people and arrested many more for participating in the anti-regime protests that erupted in mid-February 2011.

The Bahraini troops, who heavily rely on tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protesters, have also caused the deaths of several Bahraini civilians, mostly senior citizens and children, due to asphyxia as a result of inhaling the toxic tear gas.

Bahraini demonstrators hold King Hamad al Khalifa responsible for the deaths of the people during the popular uprising in the country.
