Bahraini forces have beaten to death a 16-year-old boy Hisam Mohammad al-Haddad from Muhraq to death.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry confirmed Haddad’s death.

Meanwhile, a Bahraini court has sentenced human rights activist Nabil Rajab to “three years in jail over three cases of taking part in unauthorized protests.”

More than 95 Shia have been killed and many others have been injured in the Saudi-backed crackdown on peaceful protests in Bahrain.

SRW demands the immediate release of the Shia human rights activist Nabeel Rajab. We  demand the overturning of his conviction for organizing demonstration.

Nabeel Rajab is a Shia Bahraini and the president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. He was sentenced on August 16, 2012 to three years in prison for organizing and participating in demonstrations between January and March of this year. Rajab was serving three month prison term for his June 2 tweet calling for the Bahraini prime minster to resign.

 SRW believes Nabeel Rajab was practicing his right to peaceful gathering by participating in demonstrations. His conviction is a violation of his right to freedom of assembly.

 Nabeel Rajab, just like any other Shia Muslim, must enjoy his human rights, and should be released immediately, SRW says.

Shia in Bahrain facing all kind of discrimination, inhumane treatment and unlawful arrest. It is the government duty to respect people rights and give them the freedom to speak out and demand their rights.

Shia around the world should show their solidarity to the brave women of the Middle East. Ahead of Mother’s day, Shia Rights Watch is calling on its supporters to mark the day by sending messages of support to mothers and women in the region.

Throughout Shia history, women have been an inspiring forces for change and stood up against repressive forces to defend human rights and promote equality. Looking to Lady Fatima, the beloved daughter of Prophet Mohammad as their role model, Shia woman have played a critical role in recent uprisings across the world.

Women and mothers in Iraq, Malaysia, Pakistan and Afghanistan, support Shia rights every day. They lose their beloved children and husbands in anti-Shia activities every day. Yet they strongly defend Shia rights on the forefront of protest.

Shia Rights Watch’s report on Bahrain states many women lost their lives to defend their faith and many mothers lost their loved ones to defend Shia rights.

Woman in Saudi Arabia are fighting for their rights every day. Shia woman are participating in peaceful protests along with men to do their share in defending Shia rights.

In Yemen, women are at the forefront of mass protests calling for religious equality and freedom.

All around the world, anywhere that Shia rights are being violated, courageous Shia women defended Shia by protesting, donating, losing their loved ones and even losing their own right to life.

Shia Rights Watch supports women across the world that continue to defend Shia rights. All human rights defenders should stand in solidarity with those Shia women and let them know the world is behind them in their historic moments.

(Shia Rights Watch) SRW continues to express deep concern regarding the targeted Shia human rights activist in Bahrain by the authorities. The authorities in Bahrain tried many ways to prevent the Shia majority in the country from practicing their rights as citizen and prevent them from reaching the world in order to get their basic rights as Shia citizens.

The recent distraction among human rights activist was the arrest of Nabeel Rajab, human rights activist. Nabeel Rajab, the president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights was detained at Bahrain’s international airport on his return from Lebanon. The authorities have not commented on the reasons behind the arrest.

Ahmad Abdul Al-Nabi,a 31-year-old Bahraini, was killed in Salmaniyah hospital after inhaling toxic tear gas fired by Saudi-backed regime forces on Saturday, activists said.

According to informed sources, the loyalty thugs of the king og Bahrain attacked several villages including the village of Shahrakan, leaving many peaceful protesters injured.

During the attacks to the houses, a thirty one year old man, namely Ahmad Abdul al Nabi, was killed of inhaling toxic tear gas in Shahrakan village. They say dozens more were wounded after security forces fired tear gas and used water canons to break the protest.

An elderly woman, identified as 59-year-old Abde Ali, also was killed on Friday from inhaling tear gas fired by regime forces in the village of Jidhafs near the capital.

Regime forces have killed scores of Bahrainis and arrested thousands more since the revolution began in February 2011.

This is the 80th Bahraini killed from the beginning of 14 Feb. revolution.

The 27-year-old Shia Bahraini is the latest victim of the regime’s deadly crackdown on opposition protests over the past year.

According to sources, this morning a Bahraini youth was killed after al-Khalifa forces attacked protesters in the village of Shahrakan, leaving one killed and many injured.

Sabri Mahfudh Yousef was killed due to inhalation of tear gas fired by regime forces.

Al-Wefaq party announced the death of Jaafar Jassem Radi in a statement it issued, pointing out that “the martyr is from Maqshaa, and has passed away as a result of inhaling toxic gases… the same way that other Shia died by before, due to the excessive use of those gases.”

Shia Rights Watch strongly condemns the arrest of the youngest Bahraini Quran reciter, Hassan Abulhassan, 11, by the Saudi religious militia and police at the Prophet Mohammad Mosque in Medina.

The militia arrested Abulhassan while he was giving a lesson to other children on the correct way to recite Quran. The militia attacked the man who was chaperoning the children and filming them at one of the courtyard of the mosque.  The Saudi militia then took Abulhassan and his father to their headquarters for interrogation.

When the father of the Abulhassan inquired about the reason for detention, he was answered that they got the information that Hassan is a Rafidhi, a derogatory term for Shia Muslims widely used by Wahhabi extremists.

The police told the father Abdulah Abulhassan that he should not recite the Quran in the places like Prophet Mohammad Mosque. The incident shocked the witnesses who expressed their outrage to the Saudi religious militia. One of the Egyptian witnesses followed them and refused to leave until they were released.

He testified that Hassan did not make any mistake that justifies the militia’s attacking and intimidating him during the recitation of the Quran.  Abulhassan and his father were released by Saudi religious militia without apology. Shia visitors for the Prophet Mohamed Mosque are a frequent target for abuse by the Saudi religious militia and security forces.

In December of 2011 a Shia Muslim from Australia was arrested in Medina and sentenced to 500 lashes ad months in prison after been arrested by the religious militia.

Saudi Arabia is one of the most ant-Shia governments in the world.
