Another young man Fadhel Al Matrook has been killed this morning as police attacked a funeral procession for another young man Ali Mushaima killed in yesterday's Day of Wrath protests in Bahrain.
The world watched in horror as tweeps who attended the funeral broadcast their observations on Twitter. The first victim was shot in the back, with gun shot; If that was not enough, his family and friends were not allowed to rest his body in peace. Police attacked the mourners at the government hospital, where they had gone to collect the body, with tear gas, and tweeps report hearing gunshots. Soon enough reports emerge of another man shot dead – yet another fatality of the indiscriminate police brutality, which shoots at protesters at close range as we have all seen from videos shared by netizens yesterday.
