Reporter, Male #1 Bahrain was not filled with joy like past years, but was overcome with sadness, as its forgotten revolution mourned the souls of youth in the prime of their lives, youth who were martyred by regime forces. The last victim is 16-year-old martyr Hussam al-Haddad, who was killed during the commemoration of international Jerusalem Day, so he was named the al-Aqsa martyr. And based on calls by the opposition, citizens boycotted commercial malls and markets that remained nearly empty, as traffic on main roads was limited, and visits to the martyrs' graves increased in a display of their loyalty to them. Reporter, Male #1 The regime's gift to the Bahrainis, that was represented through the killing of martyr al-Haddad on Eid al-Fitr, which Bahraini religious scholar Sheikh Isa Qassem thanked the authorities for, was not the first. Last year, and also on Eid, the regime killed a young boy, Ali Jawad al-Sheikh, by running him over. And on his anniversary, the neighborhoods of al-Kharijiya in the island of Sitra, and the town of al-Daraz witness mass marches. Reporter, Male #1 In solidarity with the family of Ali Jawad al-Sheikh on the island of Sitra, the February 14th Coalition confirmed its determination to receive retribution from the murderers, regardless of how long it takes, and called for national unity, and for not allowing the regime to divide the people by sowing sectarian strife. Guest, Male #2 We have the right to retribution from those who killed martyrs Ali al-Sheikh and Hussam al-Haddad, and all the martyrs. We will not compromise on their rights, neither us nor the parents of the martyrs, no matter how long it takes. We confirm the need for national unity, and we will not allow the Khalifa enemy to divide us and to implant sectarian strife in our beloved country. Reporter, Male #1 The revolutionaries' action continued through the night, as nighttime demonstrations were held in most areas under the banner "Freedom Offerings," during which protestors chanted for the downfall of the regime, and for retribution from the murderers. Reporter, Male #1 The Bahraini regime turned the squares of the cities and town into military sites to crack down on unarmed citizens.

Bahraini opposition societies also called for massive demonstrations titled "resistance and confrontation," west of the capital al-Manama. Revolutionaries set off pillars of black smoke around the Bahrain International Airport on the island of al-Muharraq, and the smoke could be seen covering the airport's runway. Meanwhile, separate demonstrations were held in different parts of Bahrain in protest of holding the Formula One race. The regime insists on holding the race to give the impression that it is stable. This comes as the Bahraini opposition called for organizing massive marches on the Friday of "the people's days of rage" in the center of al-Manama, under the banner of "No to Bloody Formula". On the other hand, the Bahraini regime escalated its crackdown, using bullets on unarmed civilians, and kidnapping tens of citizens. Reporter, Male #1 With these slogans, Bahraini residents took to the streets to express their rejection to holding the Formula One race and demand freedom for the prisoners, especially Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who has been on a hunger strike for over two months. Guest, Male #2 (Sheikh Isa Qassim, Bahraini Religious Scholar) It is absolutely impossible for the people to relinquish their fight for ending their imprisonment and slavery, with the goal of attaining their rights, pride, freedom, and respect for their will. No one, no circumstances, no object, no terror can force the people to retreat from fulfilling their objective. Not today, not tomorrow. Reporter, Male #1 The chants here in al-Manama call for toppling the regime and holding the officials, most notably King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, accountable for killing protestors. The residents of Barbar called for the release of prisoner Hassan Mushaima, who is being tortured by regime forces despite being sick. Protestors in Sitra Island cried out for stopping the Formula One race. This chant sums up what residents in Karzakan called for in the demonstration that roamed the streets of the city. They raised Bahraini flags and denounced the Saudi occupation of their country. With bullets and fire, regime forces stormed the demonstrations and attacked unarmed protestors, which led to the injury of tens of protestors who were hit with live bullets, according to these images that show several people severely wounded. Here, US-produced poisonous tear gas and other forms of suppression were used to crack down on the protestors. Over there, these forces are chasing protestors and arresting dozens of them. But here is another scene, in a dark closed room, where regime forces are seen severely torturing and beating protestors, according to videos posted online.
