Darkness Gangs and Police attacks homes as family and friends prepare to break fast

Bahrain: Pregnant woman attacked by regime forces whilst breaking fast
7 August, 2012 – Global Movement of Resistance

Bahraini regime forces raided two homes in Sanad last night, brutally assaulting a woman in the process. They verbally insulted another women whilst aiming their guns at others.

On Friday 3rd August the Darkness Gangs raided a home at dusk, as people were preparing to break their fast, insulting, attacking and humiliating those inside.

In an inhumane and outrageous way, Darkness Gangs brutally attacked a pregnant woman by kicking her in the stomach and insulting her with all manner of disrespectful words, showing a lack of any moral or religious values. Such actions reveal the appalling mentality of the security forces that behave more as thugs in a gang than a decent security system.

The gang that raided the home consisted of both civil police and riot police, with one member pointing a gun at a group of people who had gathered near the house.

The regime forces, raiding homes, assaulting citizens and more, are continually perpetrating such violations.

The regime is consistently targeting women in a disrespectful manner that is angering the Bahraini community.

Last night’s attack comes less than 24 hours after the authorities stopped Ahlam Al-Khozaei from travelling to Tunisia to participate in a human rights conference organised by Amnesty International. They arrested her from the airport and transferred her to a police station to be interrogated, before releasing her some hours later.

In addition, the regime forces arrested activist Zeinab Al-Khawaja whilst she was protesting peacefully yesterday evening, as well as a large number of other protesters for participating in a protest that had been banned by the regime. …source
