MANAMA: A Bahraini man died yesterday from shotgun pellet wounds sustained during clashes with police almost two months ago, rights activists said, becoming the first person to be killed in such circumstances since February last year.
Abdul Aziz Al Abbar, 27, was hit by a tear gas canister and shotgun pellets fired by riot police at a funeral procession. One pellet penetrated Al Abbar’s brain and another his eye and he was in a coma in hospital until his death.
