A woman shows rubber-coated pellets fired by riot police in al-Eker village
A woman shows rubber-coated pellets fired by riot police in al-Eker village, south of Manama, October 22 2012. Seven people have been detained over the killing of a policeman last week in al-Eker, which police has blocked off since Friday. Wefaq, the main opposition group in Bahrain, said on Sunday that clashes had broken out near al-Eker, south of Manama, after some rights activists and medics tried to enter the village.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Hamad I Mohammed, a woman holds up rubber-coated pellets fired by riot police in al-Eker village, south of Manama. The image speaks volumes about the ongoing civil unrest and political tensions in Bahrain during October 2012. The photograph depicts a moment of both defiance and vulnerability as the woman showcases the ammunition used against protesters. Her hand delicately cradles the rubber pellets, revealing their sinister nature while also highlighting her courage to expose the truth behind these violent encounters. The backdrop of darkness adds an atmospheric element to the composition, symbolizing the oppressive environment that surrounds al-Eker village at that time. The elevated view allows us to witness not only this woman's act of resistance but also offers a glimpse into a larger struggle for justice and freedom. Although her face remains unrecognizable, her presence is felt strongly through her stance and determination. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and turmoil, there are individuals who refuse to be silenced or intimidated. Through his creative use of lighting and composition, Mohammed captures a poignant moment that invites viewers to contemplate the human cost of political unrest. It serves as an invitation to reflect on our own role in advocating for peace and justice in times of crisis.
