The mourners condemned the police's procedures, and called for putting the king on trial. Regime forces confronted the mourners with gunfire and poison gas. Presenter, Male #1 On the other hand, al-Wefaq Society accused the Bahraini regime of being behind Mushaima's death, by depriving him of medical treatment and fabricating accusations against him. The Arab Network for Human Rights Information held al-Manama's authorities responsible for his martyrdom. Mushaima was sentenced to seven years in prison. Reporter, Male #2 Only two days had passed since the Bahraini regime killed martyr Ali Neama with gunfire, before another martyr was killed, Ali Mushaima. But this time, it was by torturing him in prison and depriving him of medical treatment. The new martyr was sentenced to seven years in prison, after he was charged with protesting at a financial facility. The evidence they presented for this charge was invalid, because Mushaima was in the hospital at the time. The martyr carried out one year of his prison sentence before his torturers decided to execute him with torture. Before that, they deprived him of medical treatment. Reporter, Male #2 Tens of thousands held a funeral procession for the 23-year-old martyr, and repeated angry slogans in which they called for toppling the regime, and putting the Bahraini king on trial for killing peaceful protestors who were expressing their opinions. Reporter, Male #2 After holding a procession for the martyr in the town of al-Deir, which is west of the capital al-Manama, thousands headed to Pearl Square, defying the Saudi occupation army and the Bahraini army, who cordoned off the square to support the regime's security forces. Regime forces cracked down on them with bullets and poison gas. Reporter, Male #2 It was not enough for the regime to crack down on them and kill them. It also intentionally arrested a number of doctors and surgeons. The most recent arrests were of Ali al-Akri, Saeed al-Samahigi, Ghassan Daif, Mahmoud Asghar, and the secretary of the Bahrain Nursing Society, Ibrahim al-Damastani, in addition to Nurse Diaa Ibrahim. Reporter, Male #2 Internationally, Amnesty International condemned the court, which upheld the medics' sentences. They said that this once again shows that there is no real commitment from the Bahraini government to achieve real justice for the victims of human rights violations. They also asserted that the medics were imprisoned for practicing their legitimate right to freedom of expression, and demanded their release without restrictions or conditions. Reporter, Male #2 Britain, which is one of the main countries that endorses the Bahraini regime, postponed the trail of Bahraini opposition activist Ali Hassan Musheima until next month. Musheima and his colleague Mussa Abd-Ali are accused of climbing the Bahraini Embassy building in London during a sit-in. It worth noting that Ali's father is Sheikh Hassan Musheima, who is currently imprisoned in the Bahraini regime's prisons, and is being subjected to torture, according to lawyers and relatives. http://news.linktv.org/videos/syria-operation-damascus-volcano-continues-after-blast?start=0 Government forces have still not ended what the Free Syrian Army is calling Operation Damascus Volcano, which started five days ago in the Syrian capital.

A medical source said the blast took place outside a hospital, as hundreds gathered for a funeral procession for three people killed last Thursday by armed assailants in Baghdad. Among the dead were at least four women. An Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed that a terrorist was targeting a funeral procession when he detonated explosives rigged to a car. Reporter, Male #2 The series of bombings continue to escalate in Iraq. In the latest episode, dozens of Iraqis were killed or injured in a booby-trapped car explosion, targeting a funeral procession in the Zafaraniyah neighborhood of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Security sources said the blast took place near a hospital and targeted a funeral procession for three people killed last Thursday by gunmen in Baghdad. The series of bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital is raising many questions. Some news reports implicate Iraqi politicians in the series of explosions and terrorist attacks. Security sources aired confessions of eight members of the security team in charge of guarding former Iraqi Member of Parliament Adnan al-Delaimi. The guards admitted to carrying out a series of bombings at Wathiqi Square and in the area of Karada, killing or injuring dozens of civilians. In Baghdad, security agencies accompanied by al-Delaimi's security guards visited the targeted areas and collected more evidence. Angry victims' families tried to attack the perpetrators but were stopped by security officers at the scene. Iraqi Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi, who was indicted on charges of terrorism, was the first to be linked to the acts of violence, as shown by documents and evidence provided by the judiciary. Amid the deteriorating political and security situation in Iraq, some politicians accused certain political groups of seeking to assassinate al-Hashemi, mafia-style. Former Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister, Salam al-Zubaie, accused some members of the Iraqiya Bloc of targeting al-Hashemi. In addition, several leaked news reports are linking leaders and members of the Iraqiya Bloc to al-Hashemi's case, and indicate they could be held equally responsible. http://news.linktv.org/videos/hearse-escorts-give-clues-to-north-koreas-political-future?start=0 Seven key influential people joined successor Kim Jong-un in walking beside the hearse carrying deceased leader Kim Jong-il.
