26 yr old Abbas Jaffar Alshaikh, is a revolutionary, one of the heroes in #bahrain
The first time I saw Abbas was when I entered a hidden room where injured protesters were hiding #bahrain
Abbas was sitting on his knees, concentrating with small medical blade in his hand, he was v. carefully removing birdshot pellets #bahrain
The boy who had more than 15 pellets in his back, was grateful he had found Abbas. He had taken a risk to come from his village #bahrain
Abbas showed me a glass next to him, filled with pellets he had removed from the backs, arms and legs of protesters that day #bahrain
I remember him explaining "they can't go to hospital, and the longer u wait the harder and more painful it is to remove these" #bahrain
What I didn't kno was that Abbas's body was filled with pellets. Pellets that no1 had removed for him, he knew the pain he spoke of #bahrain
Infact Abbas had been injured so many times he had lost count. His first injury was on the 14th of Feb #bahrain
His frnds told me Abbas was covered in bruises, pellets and injuries. Surviving months and months of protesting #bahrain
Abbas was so dedicated to this revolution, he protested every day. For months and months #bahrain
Not only did he protest, he was considered a leader by other protesters becuz of his bravery #bahrain
Abbas was usually 1 of the first to be on the street & one of the last to leave. #bahrain
His frnds explain that often wen all protesters had run, a while later they wud see Abbas emerge from a cloud of teargas #bahrain
Abbas inspired many with his bravery, including me. He was always on the frontlines #bahrain

I asked Abbas once jokingly if he was brave, he replied "my tongue is not a credible witness, the streets are" #bahrain
But as tough as Abbas was on the street facing the riot police, he was very emotional when seeing injured protesters #bahrain
When we were with a 16 yr old minutes after he was shot in the eye, inside a house in a village, me and the doctor were in shock #bahrain
Abbas was very upset, but he talked to the boy, calming him down. #bahrain
Before the boys mother came in to see her son, Abbas was the only one who thot of cleaning up all the blood first #bahrain
2 months ago I started noticing Abbas was always tired. When I asked him what's wrong, he always said he didn't know #bahrain
Abbas had been injured so many times but had never since feb14 gone to hospital. He knew he wud get arrested #bahrain
Later Abbas collapsed, when his family took him to hospital they were told Abbas had cancer, leukemia #bahrain
This came as a complete shock to everybody. Some say the tear gas and the injuries accelerated his condition #bahrain
docs asked "has he been exposed to a lot of chemicals" the first image that every1 thot of was brave Abbas in the cloud of teargas #bahrain
In his hospital bed, battling cancer, Abbas was just as brave as he was in the protests #bahrain

I visited Abbas in hospital, the last thing I told him was "get well soon, we won't go back to pearl roundabout without you" #bahrain
Abbas replied "my hearts already broken that I'm in here while my brothers are protesting outside. I shud be out there with them" #bahrain
The nurses say tho he was the one with the most severe condition in the ward, he was the happiest and most lively patient #bahrain
When Abbas was strong enuf, he wud go to other patients, joking arnd and encouraging them. ull get well soon, he promised #bahrain
But Abbas himself did not get well, he got much worse and this morning he passed away #bahrain
I've been hearing ppl all day discussing, whether Abbas shud be considered a martyr or not... #bahrain
Did the tear gas and injuries cause his cancer, or accelerate it? Or is it unrelated.. they ask #bahrain
No matter what the answers are to those questions, what matters is, that Abbas is a hero #bahrain
fighting for us all, standing infront of police, guns and even tanks, treating the injured, Abbas shud never be forgotten #bahrain
Abbas told me many times, he wished to see our victory, but was also willing to die to achieve it. #bahrain
Abbas was in every Self- Determination protest, when riot police blocked the road to the 1 in Dair, Abbas was looking 4 a boat #bahrain
Abbas, 1st to arrive in Bilad Alqadeem protest, standing tall, waiting for the riot police #bahrain

Some martyrs die unexpectedly, while in their homes. Abbas left his home everyday by choice, to protest against injustice #bahrain
Farewell Abbas, it was an honor to know you. #bahrain will forever be indebted to you, as a fighter, as a leader, and as our hero
