The victim, identified as Abdul Rasoul Hassan Ismail, died after inhaling toxic gas fired on his house in the village of Karbabad last week.
Several Bahraini civilians, mostly senior citizens and kids, have died due to the misuse of tear gas against protesters by regime forces.
Meanwhile, Bahraini authorities continue to defy national and international calls to release prominent rights activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who has been on hunger strike for over two months and is feared to be on the verge of death.
Khawaja, the co-founder and former president of the Bahrain Center for Human Right, began a hunger strike in early February to protest against the life sentence he received last year and Manama’s ongoing crackdown on peaceful protests.
Bahrainis have held several demonstrations in support of him after his refused to eat, urging the government to release him.
Amnesty International has also called for the ‘immediate and unconditional release’ of al-Khawaja, considering him a ‘prisoner of conscience, detained solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression’.
Also on Wednesday, pro-government thugs in Bahrain attacked several villages near Manama, whose residents oppose rule of Al Khalifa dynasty.
Witnesses said that hundreds of regime thugs wielding knives and sticks attacked a number of villages overnight, beating residents and damaging their properties.
Some reports suggest that the attackers were responding to messages posted online to avenge a bomb attack that injured seven policemen in the area two days earlier.
Activists, however, say the bombing was orchestrated by the regime itself to justify its brutality against protest areas.
Bahrain’s largest opposition group al-Wefaq said security forces did nothing to stop the attackers, who were in civilian clothes.
"The security forces did not carry out their duty, they did not disperse the (assailants) or prevent them from attacking citizens," al-Wefaq statement said, adding that authorities must "deal with these militias."
