Folks,
Below are videos of recent violence in Bahrain, including the thuggery at the University of Bahrain and pictures of the destruction of the English Language Center (ELC) at the University of Bahrain, as well as other documents on the conflict in the Kingdom. Name[s] have been removed to protect the messenger[s].
Should other members of the press wish to be added to these updates, just send a note asking to be added to the “Bahrain Update”. These are first-hand reports directly from Bahrain by a wide variety of folks.
The political situation in Bahrain is escalating towards violence, class, ethnic, and sectarian conflict. The US, which stations the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, needs to answer the question clearly of whether or not it will continue to support the Al Khalifa regime which has ruled the 33-island nation for over 200 years or support the majority of the population who desire democratic governmental structures. At present, it does not appear that the stand-off can be abated; instead, both sides are entrenched. The likely outcome is either the overthrow of the monarchy or the opposition will be beaten into submission, resulting in a bloodbath, with US-supplied weaponry. US citizens should contact their representatives and encourage them to act now.
regards,
csc

Here’s a compilation of videos, photos and news pieces on the events in Bahrain. Will send more as they come in. Please spread the word.

Pro-government thugs attack nurses at the university of Bahrain while mingling with riot police. They can be heard trashing the building (whereas the state television claims the protesters did it). When one of them attacks the nurses, he says “ÞÇÚÏÉ ÇÊÚÇáÌåã¿ ” or “she’s treating them?”
