2012-07-26 - 5:59 p


Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): The last was heard of him cries and screams for help. The mercenaries of the riot police beat him severely. He hurt and cried: “Help”. The youth were not able to get him. He was taken to an unknown location.

Ebrahim is in danger. He opens his eyes for life to find cruelty and insecurity. His two uncles, his two cousins, and three other relatives are in prison.

That night the residents of the area heard only Ebrahim’s cries for help under the brutal blows of the mercenaries on his thin body. He was arrested with two other boys Jihad and Sadeq.

His parents tried to find him in the police stations. They went to Nabih Saleh Police Station. They told Ebrahim’s parents that they did not know anything about him. They went to Khamis Police Station and they denied anything related to him. There, his mother argued much with them and she was threatened: “You would be arrested along with him if you don’t leave. Things have changed, when you came to slam the police and we let you leave”.

It was before the end of the fasting day. The parents returned home, but did not bear the idea of not having Ebrahim with them to have the meal together. They left asking about him in the hospitals, however, nobody knew anything of him. His mother told “Bahrain Mirror”: “Ebrahim’s young, he wouldn’t stand their brutality. I’m worried about my son’s life… I want Ebrahim.”

A full day had passed and Ebrahim was still missing. The security agencies claimed that they knew nothing of him, while first person witnesses confirmed that mercenaries of the Ministry of Interior had arrested Ebrahim and others when attacking the area after the young protesters blocked the Liberation Road.

Eye witnesses said: “We saw them chasing him and arrest him in the farms. We heard him cry, his cries stopped when the police left the place.”

Ebrahim’s family considers the Ministry of Interior responsible for their child safety. They say he might need medical care after all that brutal beating.

Activists responded to the kidnapping of Ebrahim and launched a campaign on Twitter under the hashtag #WhereIsEbrahim?
