BREAKING NEWS - MASSACRE IN BAHRAIN; HOSPITALS FULL; DOCTOR URGES WORLD TO HELP

The Bahraini military has opened machinegun fire on protesters who were trying to reach hospital, injuring hundreds, in what appears to be an attempted massacre, medics say.


The Army has prevented ambulances and medics from reaching those wounded amid massive pro-democracy protests in Bahrain, Dr. Ghasam, a resident at Salmaniyeh hospital in Manama, told Press TV on Friday.

He said that the protesters were marching to hospital in silence to visit those wounded in the previous rallies, when they were ambushed by troops waiting near the hospital.

"They did not even chant anti-government slogans, they wanted to visit those injured on Thursday," Dr. Ghasem said.

He maintained that the massacre was planned in advance.

"We need help! Our staff is entirely overwhelmed. They are shooting at people's heads. Not at the legs. People are having their brains blown out," Dr. Ghasam said.

He also compared the situation at the hospital to a war zone.

Bahraini lawmaker Ali al-Aswad, who was at the hospital at the time of incident, also told Press TV that the army has prevented the medical staff from reaching those injured and urged the Bahraini authorities to stop killing their own people.

According to the Bahraini lawmaker, nearly 700 army troops are stationed near the hospital.

Following the violence, Bahrain's crown prince Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa promised to start a national dialogue, once calm returns.

The Friday shooting came after a funeral procession held for those killed on Thursday turned into pro-democracy protests with a turnout of tens of thousands, which is unprecedented over the past few weeks.

Four pro-democracy protesters were killed and 231 others wounded after riot police raided the protest camp in the early hours of Thursday, when most of the demonstrators were sleeping, in an attempt to clear capital's main square from demonstrators.

The funeral procession of the victims was held after the Friday Prayers.

And what makes me sick, and i mean physically sick to the stomach, is the fact that the British Government granted licenses last year to companies, to go out and army the Bahrain Police with "crowd control ammunition".

So, as the sheep out there sit and wonder what all this has to do with them, it might be worth nothing that it is this country, yes, Great Britain that is arming these criminals!

Is one of the reasons for the crackdown on protestors, and preventing them from having influence and power in the country because they are Shia? Many of them originating from Iran, and wanting to join Iran when they have power and influence? Iran has always said Bahrain is actually one of their Islands. (Next to that they have large USA military base etc). I dont know but that is the info i get from some people. Anybody have some good info on that?

Bravo aux peuples qui se soulèvent en Tunisie, Égypte, Jordanie, Libye, Algérie, Yémen, Iran, Bahreïn, Albanie, Mauritanie, Soudan, Koweït, Irak, Djibouti, Chypre. Demain en Asie et en Afrique noire...

C'est là que les peuples écrivent les nouvelles pages de la démocratie et de la liberté !

Pas dans la vieille Europe compromise avec les dictateurs. Elle n'a pas vu ses libertés s'éroder, sa démocratie pourrir et finalement etre remplace par la dictature des illuminati,
