Another Shia Bahraini civilian was killed of asphyxia after Saudi-backed regime forces fired toxic tear gas into a house, activist reported.
Ali Issa Abdullah al-Haiki, 68, was killed on Monday several days after regime forces attacked his house using tear gas.
Bahraini troops heavily rely on tear gas and stun grenades in dispersing peaceful Shia freedom seekers. Several shia Bahraini civilians, mostly senior citizens and kids, who had not participated in protest rallies have also been killed from asphyxia after regime troops fired tear gas in residential areas and into homes, in violation of international standards that Bahrain is a signatory to.
Amnesty International has warned about the Bahraini government’s misuse of tear gas against shia freedom seeker and has called for an investigation into the tear gas-related deaths.
