Reuters photographer Hamad Mohamed was hit by a rubber bullet fired by a member of the security forces while covering a demonstration in A’ali (southwest of Manama) on 8 September. He was treated in hospital for a minor injury to the neck.

The government news agency BNA reported the incident, implicitly recognizing the responsibility of the security forces, and urged journalists to take all necessary care when working in areas where “rioting” was taking place.
