#FREE HASSAN #BAHRAIN #
\nby Rita Nalette<\/p>\n

Just met Enas, Hassans sis. She told me abt Hassan & how much he has been thru since feb14 #bahrain twitpic.com\/82qj2j<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before 18 yr old Hassan has been arrested 4 times be4. Today is the 5th arrest he has been subjected too #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Last time Hassan was arrested it was for three month, in those months he was subjected to torture #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Before that Hassan was injured twice, the first time he was shot with birshot, which spread all over his body #Bahrain #FreeHass<\/p>\n

Hassan still has birdshot pellet in his head, others were taken out for him at home but 1z in his head needed an xray #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Hassan like so many protesters in #bahrain was too afraid to go to hospital and therefore still has pellets in his head #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

The 2nd time he got injured when shot with stun grenade in his thigh & close to his eye, he fell & was arrested #Bahrain #FreeHassan
\nWhile Hassan was in prison he met the BICI, they promised he would get released within days. One of the many promises they broke #Bahrain<\/p>\n

After that Hassan was frustrated and went on hungerstrike, he got tortured more severely after that #FreeHassan #Bahrain<\/p>\n

after his hungerstrike the other detainees were prohibited from speakin to Hassan. ANy1 who spoke to him wud be put in solitary #Bahrain<\/p>\n

The most person who tortured Hassan during the previous detentions was officer Yousif Mulla Bkheet #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Other than the sexual assault Bkheet also tortured Hassan by hanging him, making him stand on one leg for long hours #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Bkheet forced Hassan to make animal sounds, curse his sect & leaders. He also poured very hot & cold water on him #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

But even after his release a month ago Hassan could not live in peace. The threatning phone calls and msgs started #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Bkheet is not even ashamed of his act & wrote to Hassan on BB we will catch u & rape u with the black hose again #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

I read 1 msg, Bkheet uses very vile language and tells Hassan, “You will be the rape martyr when I get hold of you” #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Hassans older brother is a political prisoner, Bkheet told him “We will get Hassan, tell him to say goodbye to his mum” #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Hassans bro said “He’s only a kid” Bkheet replied “Becuz of him they’re writing my name on the walls” #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

After Hassans release he told ppl abt the torture, on the village walls protesters wrote “Bkheet ur not above Gods law” #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Hassan was brave enough to speak of what he was subjected to, many men who have been thru the same wud never speak out #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Hassan is v. brave cuz he spoke out against his torturer who still holds a position, & joins attacks on the village #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Enas says last night her brother Hassan told her “If they get me this time, I wont come out again. Thats it” #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

“he looked so serious, lately he had been so scared to sleep at home. He says he felt they’re coming for him” Enas #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Hassan told his sis “I want to study, if they arrest me again I wont be able to finish my studies” #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

“this morning as I slept Hassan was talking to my dad abt the protests. I yelled @ him, Keep it down! I said” Enas #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

Enas wonders if her beloved brother was right & whether she will c him again. Close to her sits her youngest bro Ahmed #Bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

16 yr old Ahmed sits with us calmly drinking milk, altho he cudv been in jail with his bro #bahrain twitpic.com\/82r1v6<\/p>\n

After gov thugs in civilian clothes took Hassan away they went to Ahmeds school to arrest him, Ahmed afraid of arrest was not there #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Ahmeds 2 older bros are political prisoners, he is on the run. He tells me “Take my pic, I might be a political prisoner tomorrow” #Bahrain<\/p>\n

I looked arnd me, every1 of the boys has been arrested. Altho they dont have pics of Yousif, I can tell they know his face well #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Another girl from Hassans village had enough 2day, yesterday they arrested her cuzn & 2day she heard abt Hassans arrest #bahrain #FreeHassan<\/p>\n

She said also she heard form Hassans family abt the death threats and decided she had enough. #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Brave Fatima carried a flag & a sign then walked to the police station alone #bahrain #FreeHassan twitpic.com\/82r7m9<\/p>\n

Fatima sat infront of the police station with her “Free the Political Prisoners” sign, when riot police came, she didn’t move #Bahrain<\/p>\n

A yemeni police shouted at Fatima “Leave now! you have no permission to be here” Fatima said “Permission from who?” #Bahrain<\/p>\n

The policeman said “u need permission from the gov” 16 yr old Fatima said to him “We never voted for this government” #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Female police were brought, they shouted at Fatima, grabbed her flag & sign and dragged her into the police station #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Fatima was interrogated with and forced to sign a pledge before being released. Respect to our brave Bahraini girls #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Hassan believes he wud die in prison if arrested again, lets make sure that doesn’t happen. Lets all unite to #FreeHassan #Bahrain<\/p>\n

Now with the family of Fakhriya Jassim, 55 yrs who passed away today after her health deteriorated from tear gas on New Years eve #bahrain<\/p>\n

Fakhriyas son showing us his mums photo, saying she was fine until tear gas suffocated her #bahrain twitpic.com\/82rr0u<\/p>\n

Fakhriyas son says a day before she died his mother kept saying “this time the tear gas is different” she cud barely talk #bahrain<\/p>\n

The night be4 being exposed to the teargas Fakhriya was fine, she went out shopping #bahrain twitpic.com\/82rrzj<\/p>\n

Fakhriyas husband says “my wife is one of many who have died from this poison. Some reported and many not even reported” #bahrain
\n#USteargas<\/p>\n

Martyr Fakhriya has left behind 5 children and 10 grandchildren. #bahrain #USteargas<\/p>\n

When she cud speak Fakhriya asked her son to prepare her coffin, she asked him to close the windows & said “I feel its killing me” #bahrain<\/p>\n

One of Fakhriyas sons says “we’re all suffering from the tear gas, all of us… sunnis and shia” #bahrain #USteargas<\/p>\n

Fakhriyas son was arrested twice, the last time in november she got very scared when dozens of riot police stormed her house #bahrain<\/p>\n

I’m sitting with some of the women who were with Fakhriya right before she was exposed to the teargas, they say she was fine #bahrain<\/p>\n

They say “mullayah Fakhriya was such a strong woman, so outspoken and loved” #bahrain<\/p>\n

The girl who saw her last before being taken to hospital said Fakhriyas lips were bluish, and she kept pointing to her chest #bahrain<\/p>\n

The girl asks “what is in this teargas??! Where do they bring this poison from?!” #USteargas #bahrain<\/p>\n

Some of the tear gas used on that night beside Fakhriyas house was green in colour, say her family #bahrain #USteargas<\/p>\n

Baby Yaseen was born one day after his father, Fakhriyas son, was released from prison. #bahrain twitpic.com\/82s68k
