Bahrain: Member of Municipal Council Shot by Security Forces

Bahrain: Member of Municipal Council shot at directly by regime forces
Shia Post – 11 September, 2012

Forces of the Bahraini regime targeted a member of the Municipal Council, Sadiq Rabea, shooting at him with birdshot gun causing serious injuries. The incident took place whilst regime forces were brutally suppressing a peaceful pro-democracy protest in Sitra Island

Shotgun pellets riddled Rabea’s back, neck and ear causing heavy bleeding. He is currently without medical treatment as hospitals refused to treat the injured Rabea despite his injuries that were deliberately caused by the regime forces.

Such attacks are a regular occurrence in Bahrain where regime forces systematically repress peaceful citizens in order to prevent them from exercising their right to protest and freely express their opinions.

The condition of Rabea is currently unknown as police forcibly arrested him from Ebin Al-Nafees Hospital, without medical treatment for his critical injuries. …source
