Young Abdullah Hassan (18 years) was wounded with 17 splinters of the shotgun bullets, after fired by riot police on Tuesday evening at Malikia village in Bahrain. He is still receiving treatment at Salmanyia Medical Complex SMC and his status has been described as stable. His brother told Alwasat News the details of the incident, saying:
«I have sent him to buy bread for me, but he took a long time to return and his clothes were full of blood and when I asked him he said that riot police had fired their bullets indiscriminately on all people out there, what led to my injury». He added: «My brother was wounded by 17 shrapnel in different parts of his body and I have taken him to a private hospital which refused to provide him with medical treatment, and then I had to take him to the emergency room of Salmaniya Medical Complex where they have tried to extract the shrapnel from his body, but they are waiting to get a vacant bed for him before they start extracting the shrapnel».
And he added: «We were surprised when security personnel came to the emergency room, and they started their investigation and Interrogation with my brother and they have told him that they will accompanies him until he is treated and then they will transfer him to the police centre at rotor 17 for Interrogation and later will he be sent to the public prosecutor to decide on the subject». He said «my brother does not have any link to security incidents or confrontations, and he has just been discharged from hospital after having a surgery and it is therefore difficult for him to move and usually he sits with his friends near the house». In conclusion, the brother of the victim said: «I call the Interior Ministry to find out who was behind firing the shotgun bullets on my brother, especially because there were no security confrontations at that time, and I hope my brother will not be detained because he is not related to security incidents not now and not ever, his record is an evidence of the truth of what I’m saying. I hope that this issue is closed in the soonest so that he can come back home».
In the same context, the people of Malikia stressed that there was no security confrontation at the time of the incident, but they were surprised to see the spread of many anti-riot police over the past week in the village, because of the continuing surveillance of the village of Karzakan.
