Bahrainis hold funeral for young protester

The late Bahraini protester Ibrahim al-Miqdad

Bahraini protesters hold a funeral ceremony for a young protester who died after inhaling tear gas fired by Bahraini security forces during anti-regime protests on Saturday.

Ibrahim al-Miqdad was among those venting anger over the Al Khalifah regime’s execution of two activists on alleged terror charges. The protest rallies also turned violent on Sunday after security forces fired tear gas in a western suburb of the capital, Manama.

Nationwide protests erupted after the regime executed Ali al-Arab and Ahmad al-Malali on charges of allegedly possessing firearms and killing a police officer.
