My story began in 1996 in an incident called "burn Alzaiton restaurant" in Sitra. I lost my father because of it #BHStory #bahrain

 

BTV said: In the morning of Thu dozens of terrorists burned a restaurant in Sitra. which led to deaths of 7 Asians. #BHStory #bahrain

 

Attended Sitra in the same morning the current PM Khalifa and issued his orders to arrest thousands. #BHStory #bahrain‏‏

 

During this week: My father had an operation in his eyes. so fortunately he wasn't at home when they stormed it. #BHStory

 

next day they went to my grandfa's house. broke doors and beat my grandfa. My 15 y/o uncle were arrested as a hostage. #BHStory #bahrain

 

Then they threatened to rape his mother/sisters/daughter(me) and his wife. so my father went to prison to stop them. #BHStory #bahrain

 

My father stayed with the thousands detained in the same case. They did so just to be able to arrest people. #BHStory #bahrain

 

they didnt care about the fact that my father had just returned from treatment. tortured him until his eyes deteriorated. #BHStory #bahrain
