Gulf Daily News - 09 August, 2012

Bahrain has strongly denied claims that anyone has died or suffered serious injuries as a result of tear gas. The Information Affairs Authority (IAA) said there was no evidence to prove the tear gas used by police was lethal.

"Any means that have been exercised by security forces adhere to international standards of riot control," said a spokesman.

"Suggestions that the use of tear gas in Bahrain is severely injurious or even lethal are simply not backed up by any research or proof.

"The government of Bahrain denies and condemns the use of lethal force or unlawful means in controlling demonstrations in the kingdom."

A recent report by the US-based Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) organisation alleged it had resulted in the "maiming, blinding and even killing of protesters".

"It is increasingly evident that tear gas has effects far more severe than commonly understood," said its deputy director Richard Sollom.
