FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A member of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights said he saw police fire the canister at Khawaja at close range after anti-government protesters gathered on Wednesday in the village of Buri, southwest of the capital Manama, the Associated Press reported.
According to Yousef al-Muhafedha, the police apparently recognized Khawaja before targeting her.
On May 24, Khawaja was given a one-month jail term on charges of obstructing traffic by blocking a main road in Manama and “using force against a policewoman and insulting her as forces of order tried to disperse an unauthorized rally” in late April.
She was arrested one day before the Formula One Grand Prix while sitting peacefully in the middle of a main road leading to the Bahrain International Circuit, demanding cancellation of the race and an end to the Saudi-backed crackdown on popular protests.
Zainab has been arrested several times for organizing protests demanding the release of her father, prominent activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, whose 100-day-hunger strike against his detention conditions brought renewed international attention to the protest movement in Bahrain.
The Persian Gulf island nation has experienced almost daily demonstrations since mid-February 2011, demanding political reform and a constitutional monarchy.
The popular demand, however, gradually changed into an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa family following brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores of people have also been killed and many others have been injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain.
