Allegations of excessive use of force during protests, resulting in the death of two
children. According to the information received, a protest took place in the village
of Saddad on 28 September 2012. A 17 year old was reportedly shot dead by riot
police who used shotguns whilst dispersing participants. It is alleged by that the
death certificate indicates that the death was caused by shotgun injuries on the
child‘s back, which contradicts the authorities‘ statement alleging that he was
killed in the context of an act of self-defence. It is reported that a similar event
took place in Muharraq on 17 August 2012, when a 16-year-old protester died
during clashes between protesters and security forces.
