New Bahraini Martyr, Police Attacks Students

Local Editor

Another Bahraini was martyred due to asphyxia after inhaling poisonous tear gas fired by Saudi-backed regime forces as Manama's brutal crackdown on protests continues.
The victim, identified as Haj Ibrahim Hassan Salman, passed away on Tuesday nearly 45 days after inhaling toxic tear gas fired by regime forces.

Salman, 60, was hospitalized last month after security forces fired tear gas canisters into residential areas in the town of Samaheej.

Meanwhile, riot police raided a high school and fired tear gas at students in the capital Manama Tuesday morning as the teenagers demonstrated for the release of a pupil arrested the previous day.
Amateur footage posted online show police firing tear gas at hundreds of students at the Jabriya boy's school.
The students were demanding the release of 17-year-old Hassan Humidan who was arrested on Monday.
The school is located close to the US Embassy in a residential southern district of Manama full of parks and nurseries.

Mohamed Jaber, a father of one of the students, says he came to pick up his son but police told him and other parents to leave.
Activists said that police have arrested about 100 people over the past two weeks in preparation of the Formula One race scheduled for April 21.
Thousands of Bahrainis have taken to the streets across the kingdom in recent days to protest the race amid an ongoing crackdown on anti-government demonstrators.

Bahrain has been wracked by more than two years of unrest with almost daily demonstrations against the US-backed monarchy.
