Bahrain: One dead during police raid against Shia holy man’s supporters
[ALMASDARNEWS] Security forces in Bahrain shot and injured one person and allegedly tortured another, who later died, during a raid against supporters of Bahrain's Shia holy man Ayatollah Isa Quassim, in Diraz on Thursday, according to reports.
Police officers reportedly shot at Quassim’s supporters, who have been staging sit-in protests since June, when the holy man’s citizenship was revoked on the grounds that he had allegedly provoked violence and fostered ties with foreign powers.
