Local Editor

Poisonous tear gas used by Bahraini al-Khalifa forces against peaceful anti-government protesters has martyred 43 years old woman in Jid Hafas.
In details, the victim, identified as Asiyeh al-Madih, was martyred on Sunday after a tear gas canister hit her when walking in a street during an overnight attack by regime forces in Jid Hafas.
According to reports, she was moved to hospital and after hours of remaining under treatment, al-Madih could not bear and hence doctors confirmed her martyrdom.

Bahraini troops heavily rely on tear gas and stun grenades to disperse peaceful anti-government protesters.
Several Bahraini civilians, mostly senior citizens and kids, have died from asphyxia after regime troops fired tear gas in residential areas and into homes in violation of international standards to which Bahrain is a signatory.
96 people have been killed and many others injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain.

Meanwhile, Bahraini authorities announced at least two people have been killed in Bahrain's capital Manama after a series of blasts went off.

The interior ministry said two Asian men, including one trash collector, were killed in Monday's explosions, adding a third person was only injured.
It said at least five homemade explosive devices exploded.
The official Bahrain News Agency described the blasts as an "act of terrorism".

BNA gave no more details on the incidents which come after the government said last week it had banned all rallies and gatherings to ensure public safety.
The ban was condemned by the London-based Amnesty International as a "violation of the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly."
