BRUSSELS, Belgium: Bahrain government’s and security forces’ as well as Saudi-led foreign forces’ brutalities against innocent Bahrainis protesting for their rights are in continuation.

Grand Maraje from Holy Najaf and Qom have reprimanded actions by Bahrain.

On March 17, Amnesty International had revealed evidence of the Bahraini security forces' systematic use of excessive force in cracking down against protesters.

In the report, Bloodied but Unbowed: Unwarranted State Violence against Bahraini Protesters, the organization documents how security forces used live ammunition and extreme force against protesters in February without warning and impeded and assaulted medical staff trying to help the wounded.

The report, which is based on firsthand testimonies given to an Amnesty International team in Bahrain, comes as the country is gripped by further violence, after Saudi Arabian and UAE forces entered the small Gulf state and Bahrain's King declared a national state of emergency.

"It is alarming to see the Bahraini authorities now again resorting to the same tactics that they used against protesters in February but on an even more intensive scale," said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's director for the Middle East and North Africa.
