Raisethefist.com: Rights Group: Ban Tear Gas Sales to Bahrain
Rights Group: Ban Tear Gas Sales to Bahrain
by anonymous Wed Aug 1 02:30:53 PDT 2012

A U.S.-based rights group is urging for a worldwide ban on sales of tear gas to Bahrain until the Gulf state conducts a full-scale inquiry into allegations of its excessive use against anti-government protesters.

The appeal is part of a wide-ranging report by Physicians for Human Rights into what it calls "unprecedented" levels of tear gas use by Bahraini security forces. The kingdom's majority Shiites began an uprising more than 18 months ago seeking greater rights from the ruling Sunni monarchy.

More than 50 people have died in the unrest. The report cites claims that some were hit by tear gas canisters or suffered fatal respiratory complications.

Bahrain authorities had no immediate response to Wednesday's report. But officials have promised investigations into allegations of police abuses.
