Anonymous press release on Bahrain: 17th Feb 2011

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 22/02/2011 - 5:51pm

Dear free-thinking citizens of the world,

The Bahrainian government has shown by its actions that it intends to brutally enforce its reign of injustice by limiting free speech and access to truthful information to its citizens and the rest of the world. It is time to call for an end to this oppressive regime. The most basic human right is the transparency of one's government, and Bahrain's is no exception.
