On the morning of 20 March 2011, 60-year-old Younis Ashoori went to Muharraq Maternity Hospital as usual, where he worked as an administrator. Suffering from a migraine and pain from kidney stones, he decided to go home early. Amina, his wife, recalls that he arrived around 11:30 am. Shortly afterwards, he received a call from his boss asking him to come back as there was an urgent need for his assistance.<\/p>\n

Despite his pain, Younis, a dedicated worker with nearly 30 years of public service, consented to his boss\u2019s request. Saying goodbye to his wife, he drove back to the hospital.<\/p>\n
