angry arabiya


When 54 yr old Mahdiya AbdulHussain saw the riot police brutally beating the son of one of her neighbors, she ran towards them 

She tells me "He's from our village, he is our son. I cudnt leave him with the riot police. They have no mercy"  
 
Mahdiya walked to the riot police and started to shout at them "let him go, stop beating him"  

maybe Mahdiya did not think they wud leave him, but she also did not expect what happened next

One of the masked riot police, without a word, shot at Mahdiya with teargas, he shot at her in the chest.  

Mahdiya was taken to hospital, docs were v. worried about blood clotting, & told her it was miraculous she did not break any ribs

Mahdiya is still in pain, she is back home now. Physically she is better, but she also suffers from a diff. kind of pain  

Maybe what made this 54yr old try to save the man from the hands of the riot police, is that he reminded her of her own two sons  

Her older son Isa, is a political prisoner detained in Dry Dock for the past 4 months   


her younger son, Mohammed is serving a 1 year sentence in Jaw prison for illegal gathering   

To be suffering in prisons of dictators, to live the injustice & then to hear that ur mother was shot in the chest by riot police

Mohd who is 19 was not told abt the incident by his family, but heard from other political prisoners.  

I cud tell Mahdiya was holding back tears as she told me how upset Mohd was when he called her
