At least one person was killed and twenty others wounded in several demonstrations in Bahrain which have involved thousands of people to ask for a new government to improve their living conditions. Muhammad al Maskati activist, president of the Bahraini Youth Association for Human Rights, said by telephone that the late Ali Abdelhadi Mushaima, 21, died today in a state hospital for injuries sustained in the back during a demonstration in the town of Al Dih.
Al Maskati said that he saw Mushaima, who had left his house to see what happened, was shot in the back by the impact of a rubber bullet fired by police to disperse the demonstrators. The activist complained that the agents "have used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up protests in which at least twenty people have been injured" between yesterday and today.
Al Maskati said today there have been demonstrations in sixteen locations in the kingdom, including Manama, who have passed in the midst of a huge police deployment. "In Manama, the majority of streets were closed, many students have not gone to school and some shops have closed," said the activist.
Al Maskati said that the demonstrators demanding an end to the violations of human rights in the country, the reform of the Constitution and a new government and prime minister, as the present, Prince Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, "it takes forty years power. " "People want improved living conditions and wage increases," said the activist.
Al Maskati stressed that the "peaceful protests, which began yesterday in Karzakan area have been organized through online social networks like Facebook. Popular protests have spread to several Arab countries like Yemen, Iraq and Bahrain after the triumph of the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia have finished with the regimes of Egypt Hosni Mubarak and Zine el Abidine ben Ali, respectively.
