Bahraini regime tortures young boy
New footage has appeared, showing a teenage boy being violently treated by security forces in Bahrain, amid the continuing brutal crackdown on peaceful anti-government protests in the Persian Gulf sheikdom.
Bahraini human rights activists said the teenager, Ammar Medan, was forcefully abducted from his home early Monday by the Al Khalifa forces and was tortured for two hours, Press TV reports.
Ammar was dumped on a street in the village of Diah after being tortured and is now in a coma, the activists said.
Chairman of Bahrain Center for Human Rights Nabeel Rajab has visited the young boy in the hospital.
Meanwhile, in the village of Sanabis, young Bahrainis have staged a rally, demanding the release of political prisoners.
On Sunday, anti-government protesters also held another rally in the northern village of Dair, calling on the ruling regime to free all those Bahrainis detained during months of protests.
The protesters also rejected the results of the regime-backed "National Consensus Dialog" in Bahrain.
In February, massive protests broke out in Bahrain, with people taking to the streets and calling for a constitutional monarchy -- a demand that later turned into calls for the regime’s downfall.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates deployed military forces to Bahrain in mid-March to assist the Bahraini government in its brutal crackdown on the popular protests.
Bahrainis have nevertheless pledged to keep up their protests until their demands are met.
