iReport – CNN 25 July, 2011

Bahrain faces a serious development in events at the first night the “International Committee” (to investigate human right violations) announced its kickoff in a press conference.

In the evening of 24th of July, the government released the first detainee in the protests that kicked off in Bahrain back in 14th February. A sunni protester, Mr, Mohammed Al Buflasa, who was kidnapped in the 17th of February just 2 nights after the protests started. Mohammed is an ex. military member who resigned few years back. He has ran for Parliment Elections before.

Al Buflasa was senteced for 3 months in jail, though he has not been released as his sentence ended. He has been prisoned in multiple locations as many unconfirmed reports, and for some time in solitary confienment. Many reports spread throughout his period in jail that he has been severly tortured.

A week ago, many unconfirmed reports were raising concerns that he had suicidal thoughts in prison.

Al Buflasa has grown up as a hero as he symbolizes that the protests in Bahrain are not sectarian driven. His name would be chanted alongside with a popular slogan “Brothers Sunni and Shia, this Land is not for Sale” in almost every gathering or a protest the pro-democracy would plan.

At the night of his released he was received in a huge crowd cheering him up and raising victory signs as he arrived home. He gave a brief speech from the roof of his home.

Moments later thugs led by an ex. MP (Mohammed Khalid – A pro-Government) carrying spades, swords, bongs and knives rallied towards the crowd cheering Al Buflasa. Many reports about serious injuries, nothing confirmed yet. Roads towards that location are blocked at the moment. Many reported seeing Ambulances rushing towards that area. Heavy tear gas was used to disperse the crowd next to Al Buflasa home (Pro-Democracy crowd).

Bahrain is the home of the US Navy Fifth Fleet, and a strategic alliance with US Government. …source
