Democracy in Bahrain, Hung Out to Dry Again...

A good article from Vice news on the recent sentencing of Nabeel Rajab in the context of free speech and the Charlie Hedbo affair. Obviously, Bahrain is not the only authoritarian regime who participated in Charlie Hedbo solidarity hypocrisy but I tend to focus on it as I lived there and understand that British Expats are complicit in the status quo by their very presence on the island, not to mention the UK's continual support for the Al_Khalifas.

All belief systems need a good satirical rogering now and again, especially the ones that insist on repressing women or sexual minorities or other points of view. i.e. all of them. Or the ones who have had horrible atrocities justified under their banner. i.e. all of them. Or the ones that encourage unhealthy/anti-social behaviour by suppressing basic human desires i.e. all of them.
