 Zakariya Rashid Hassan al-Ashiri  ( HOW OLD WAS HE? – April 9, 2011), a Bahraini, worked as an editor and writer for a local website in Al Dair, Bahrain. He was killed on April 9, 2011 while in custody of the Bahraini Government. He was reported to have been the first Bahraini blogger and journalist to die in relation to his work.

He was the second blogger worldwide to have been killed for his work. al-Ashiri follows the death two years earlier of Omid Reza Mir Sayafi, who was the first blogger to have been known to be killed for his publication. Two month after al-Ashiri, Brazilian blogger Edinaldo Filgueira was killed in June 2011.

Death
Al-Ashiri was arrested (IN WHICH CITY?) and charged with providing false news, inciting hatred towards the regime and the promotion of sectarian on 2 April 2011. One week after his arrest, Al-Ashiri was reported dead while in government custody under mysterious circumstances. Bahraini authorities claim that he died 9 April of complications due to "sickle cell anemia." (WHAT DID HIS FAMILY SAY?) Currently, there is some speculation (BY WHOM?) that Al-Ashiri was beaten to death (WHAT EVIDENCE?). According to CPJ's viewing of the website, none of the government's allegations were found.
