Report of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry 974. At 20:15 on 5 April 2011, Ms Khadija Merza Abbas Yusuf Abdulhai was pronounced dead. The death certificate states that the cause of death was bilateral modular diseases and acute pneumonitis caused by severe septic shock. 975. The Commission received information that on 15 March 2011 Ms Abdulhai inhaled large quantities of tear gas after it was released in the open yard of her home. Her family took her to SMC but was advised to bring her back the following day. The family was unable to access the appropriate hospital facilities until 20 March 2011, at which point the deceased was hospitalised and treated for a five-day period. The deceased’s condition progressively worsened. Her heart stopped on 5 April 2011 and she was taken to the Intensive Care Unit where she died later that day. 976. The exact circumstances of this death are unknown. Consequently, the Commission is unable to determine whether there was an excessive use of force or to attribute this death to a particular agency. Case No. 19 - Alsayed Hameed Mahfoudh Ibrahim Mahfoudh 977. On 6 April 2011, Mr Alsayed Hameed Mahfoudh Ibrahim Mahfoudh was pronounced dead. The death certificate states that the cause of death was respiratory and circulatory failure. 978. A forensic report confirmed the cause of death and concluded that the body of the deceased was found on Al Budaiya Road behind Al Aziziya Complex. 979. The Commission received information that the deceased left his home at approximately 20:30 on 6 April 2011. After several hours, a relative called the deceased on his mobile phone to ask about his whereabouts, but the deceased did not answer. The relative then left the house to search for the deceased. The deceased’s relative stated that the next morning, the family went to Al Budaiya police station. The relative stated that they saw the car of the deceased inside the police station and that one of the family members attempted to approach the vehicle but was stopped by police. They continued to look for the deceased and at about 20:30 they found his body close to Al Aziziya complex on Al Budaiya Road. The car of the deceased had been moved from inside the police station to the parking lot of a nearby coffee shop. Relatives of the deceased stated that the body was found inside a large black plastic bag and that the police refused to examine the body for some time. The body had evidence of physical assault and they believe that the cause of his death was suffocation. 980. The Commission considers that the death of Mr Mahfoudh was an unlawful killing. The fact that the deceased was found inside a plastic bag and the evidence of suffocation are indicative of an unlawful killing. The Commission is unable to attribute this death to a particular agency or group of civilians. Case No. 20 - Jaafar Hasan Yusuf 240
Chapter VI — Allegations of Human Rights Violations Against the Person 981. On 18 September 2011, Mr Jaafar Hasan Yusuf was pronounced dead. No autopsy was conducted and no formal cause of death has been recorded. 982. The Commission received information that, on two occasions in March 2011, security forces came into the deceased’s home searching for his brother. Witnesses stated that the deceased was physically attacked on both occasions, causing severe bruising to his body. He was then admitted to SMC for approximately three days. Thereafter, he went to receive treatment in Jordan where he was diagnosed with Hepatitis and a bowel perforation. He subsequently returned to SMC. The deceased’s health began to deteriorate and he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of SMC on 8 August, where he remained until 18 September 2011 when he died. 983. The exact circumstances of this death are unknown, and consequently the Commission is unable to determine whether there was an excessive use of force or to attribute this death to a particular agency or group of civilians. Case No. 21 - Abdulrasool Hasan Ali Mohamed Hujair 984. On 20 March 2011, Abdulrasool Hasan Ali Mohamed Hujair was pronounced dead. The death certificate states that the cause of death was traumatic injuries to the chest, stomach, back and limbs, which led to bleeding and shock. 985. The Commission received information that at approximately 19:00 on 19 March 2011 the deceased was expected to return home after the Maghreb prayer. His relatives heard shots being fired and knew that most roads were closed. They stated that when the deceased did not return home after two hours, they called his mobile phone three times. His relatives attended the nearby police station to lodge a missing person complaint, but were told that they could not do so until he had been missing for 24 hours. The following day, another relative called the family and told them that the body of the deceased was at the SMC morgue. They were told that the body had been found in Awali, a sparsely populated area north of Riffa. The relatives stated that there were marks all over the deceased’s body and a fracture of his skull. 986. The death of Mr Hujair can be attributed to the use of excessive force by unknown persons. The fact that the deceased sustained multiple traumatic injuries indicates that there was no justification for the use of lethal force. The Commission is unable to attribute this death to a particular agency or group of civilians. c) Deaths Caused by Torture Case No. 22 - Hasan Jassim Mohamed Maki 525 987. At approximately 10:30 on 3 April, Mr Hasan Jassim Mohamed Maki was pronounced dead. The death certificate states that the cause of death was heart failure and cessation of breathing due to sickle cell anaemia. 525 One statement provided to the Commission. 241
