Sixteen year old Bahraini boy, Ali Abbas Radhi, died after regime forces disrupted traffic and attacked citizens near al-Qadam, west of capital Manama, to prevent them from reaching Friday prayers in Diraz.

The teen was seriously injured after a car hit him while regime forces were besieged the area, brutally attacking and arresting citizens heading to the prayers.

"He went onto the highway to run away, was hit by a civilian car. We hold the Ministry of Interior responsible for his death," acting president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, Maryam al-Khawaja, posted on Twitter.

A security siege, military roadblocks, checkpoints along with brutal repression, all to prevent citizens from attending Friday prayer behind Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim. This comes within the regime's policy to oppress freedoms and basic human rights.
"The revoking of citizenship from honorable people is aimed at punishing those who have opposition views," Sheikh Qassem confirmed to worshippers who managed to reach Diraz' mosque.

According to the Bahraini human rights activist Zainab al-Khawaja, worshippers prayed on the streets after they realized they won't be able to enter the mosque. Several people attempted to scale the walls in order to avoid the security blockade.

Al-Khawaja also tweeted a photo of the young boy who was killed on the highway, as well as his family preparing for his funeral. She also wrote that police were preventing outraged Bahrainis from attending the burial.

Meanwhile, al-Wefaq, the largest political party in Bahrain, posted pictures of people taking to the streets to protest the death of the 16-year-old on its Twitter account.
