US-Made Weapons brutally misused in Bahrain

Several videos and photos were published recently showing official police misuse of weapons against unarmed protestors, inside villages, below video shows a policeman leaving his car and throwing a CS555 canister gas grenade onto a house where not even a single protestor was there!

After investigating on the source of the weapon it turns to be in the United States of America located at  Casper, WY 82601, address:

Defense Technology U.S. Customer Care
1855 South Loop, Casper, WY 82601
Phone: (877) 248-DTFL (3835)
Fax: (877) 984-TECH (8324)


"Defense Technology Federal Laboratories" had supplied the Bahraini regime with thousands of such a weapon where it was severely misused against homes and several incidents happened where women and childred have died due to the canister being thrown at their homes.

Above is a picture of the same weapon found in the backyard of a Bahraini family.

Human rights organisations, United Nations, Amnesty International and all entities who have power are urgently demanded to aid the Bahraini people by stopping the supply of such weapons to the Bahraini regime, who is misusing the weapon and violating all means of law.

Below link shows more details regarding the weapon, and clearly it appears how the regime in Bahrain is violating even the instructions from the grenade manufacturer,

Above image referenced from manufacturer of CS555 grenade website, it obviously states that the grenade should be used to control CROWDS, and not indoors or at rooftops!! which is exactly what the regime in Bahrain is doing, they are throwing it at rooftops, backyards, every single day. Also it seems that the product used by the Bahraini regime is expired, need to confirm that. Please help those people by standing  with a word of truth and put enough pressure on the manufacturers to stop supplying such to the Bahraini regime.
