One more activist has died after inhaling tear gas during anti-regime rallies in Bahrain. Peaceful protests erupted in violence throughout the country Friday, resulting in brutal police crackdowns that used rubber bullets and gas to disperse crowds.

Why the sudden epidemic in reports about tear gas deaths? If you take Press TV and Al-Alam TV seriously – there have been no natural deaths in Bahrain over the last year, and everybody who died in their sleep has been highlighted by these Iranian propaganda channels as “martyrs of the barbaric Saudi-backed regime in Manama”.
We hope that - given the uncharitable failure of the Bahraini security forces to provide the opposition with real martyrs in recent months - the opposition isn't taking to the same propagandistic methods of logging anyone who dies as a “tear gas victim”.
If opposition activists set up roadblocks and throw molotovs in crowded civilian areas, they should accept some of the blame when elderly ladies and small children become casualties of the violence they are instigating day after day.
