Bahrain Mirror: The National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR) said on Monday (January 30, 2017) that the injury of the 18-year-old Mostafa Hamdan was caused during a shootout between two groups of masked men and hurling stones early in the morning on January 26.

The institution avoided saying that the masked group affiliated to the regime forces opened fire at protestors outside Sheikh Isa Qassim's house, injured Hamdan along with other protestors and arrested at least 6 citizens.

Detainees told their families in phone calls that they are held at the Criminal Investigations building.

The NIHR added that it received with great sadness the Interior Ministry's news on the martyrdom of First Lieutenant Hesham Hassan Al-Hamadi who was shot dead.

It expressed strong denunciation of such violent and criminal acts which targeted citizens and security officers and stressed categorical rejection of the use of violence and weapons against the state, affirming that targeting the security officers and the community is absolutely rejected.
