Bahrain security forces clash with youths: witnesses<\/strong>
\n18 March, 2012 – France 24<\/p>\n

AFP – Bahraini security forces clashed with youths on Sunday after the funeral of a protester who allegedly died after inhaling tear gas fired by riot police, witnesses said.<\/p>\n

The clashes erupted in the Shiite village of Al-Muqsha, north of the capital Manama, following the funeral of Jaafer Jassem Ridha, 41.<\/p>\n

The main Shiite opposition group Al-Wefaq said Ridha died after inhaling tear gas fired at a recent demonstration that was violently dispersed by riot police.<\/p>\n

Al-Wefaq also said on Sunday that another Bahraini, 27-year-old Sabri Mahfud, had died after inhaling tear gas, without elaborating on the circumstances or date of the incident.<\/p>\n

The interior ministry said on Twitter that a group of people “provoked acts of violence and barricaded the streets” after Ridha’s burial, adding that necessary “lawful measures” were taken to contain the situation, without saying what these were.<\/p>\n

The ministry also announced on Sunday the opening of a probe into claims that a policeman had thrown a petrol bomb, as a video posted online appeared to show.<\/p>\n

The inquiry could lead to disciplinary measures against the suspect, a senior ministry official said in a statement received by AFP.<\/p>\n

Bahrain’s riot police often fire tear gas against demonstrators in the tiny Gulf kingdom, where the Shiite-led opposition is calling for constitutional changes that would reduce the power of the ruling minority Sunni dynasty.<\/p>\n

Tensions have remained high since a deadly crackdown last year after a month of Manama street protests.<\/p>\n

According to an independent probe, 35 people were killed in last year’s unrest, including five security personnel and five detainees tortured to death while in custody. …source<\/a><\/p>\n
