As the news from Bahrain continues to get worse, the opposition once more takes nonviolent action to move the world to intervene. Inspired by Zeinab Alkhawaja (@angryarabiya) hundreds of Bahrainis and their supporters worldwide will begin a four day hunger strike beginning Monday:

This peaceful civilized movement has been suppressed brutally. And that was not enough for the criminal Bahraini regime and the Saudi nasty invader… what they planned for and what they are doing now is a decadent sectarian, ethnic cleansing. More than 25 martyrs were killed; four of them were killed under the brutal torture in custody. There are more than 500 detainees that no one knows what the situation they are living in detention is, 30 of them are women, and 116 of them are kids, all of them were arrested because they had a mouth that wanted to speak for freedom…

Me, you, anyone of your family might be with them in any moment… just being one of the people who passed by a protest one day is an enough reason to be arrested, save the detainees lives and save yourself from being arrested…

One more time Bahrainis will prove to the whole world that they are peaceful civilized people; they are going to raise their demand through a hunger strike this time, join it pro-freedom protest against the unjustness in Bahrain…

Zeinab’s own hunger strike continues and her health is quickly deteriorating. When family members took her to a hospital for care, they were informed that treatment would require notification of the authorities – who are known to then arrive and kidnap the patients – so she is home without treatment and getting weaker. …more
