Fish out of water. Blogging about Bahrain since 2004

[Fahad Desmukh @desmukh]

All liberation movements have similarities, but I've always been struck by how alike #Bahrain and #Kashmir are. Popular uprisings every decade or so, after each generation of youths have exhausted attempts to just get an education, job and live a decent life under the status quo

So I'm retiring this account as I haven't had the time to maintain it for a while. If you're interested, you can follow me from my named account @desmukh.

في مثل هذا اليوم، 9 تموز 1917، حُكم على إيما غولدمان وألكسندر بيركمان بالسجن سنتين، مع دفع غرامة قدرها 10 آلاف دولار لكل منهما ثم ترحيلهما إلى روسيا ، بسبب انتهاكهما قانون التجنيد في الحرب العالمية الأولى. فأعلن الماريشال توماس ماكارثي: "إنها بداية النهاية للأناركية في نيويورك."

اسرائيلي وصورة تذكارية من أمام الجمعية البحرينية لمقاومة التطبيع.. وكما تسخرُ الدولة من مواطنيها، يسخرُ ضيوفُ الدولة.. #مؤتمر_البحرين

في مثل هذا اليوم، 14 مايو 1940، توفيت الأناركية المدافعة عن حقوق المرأة والحرية الجنسية إيما غولدمان. هاجرت غولدمان المولودة في ليتوانيا إلى الولايات المتحدة، ليطلق عليها لاحقاً لقب "إيما الحمراء". وصفها مدير مكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي ج. إدغار هوفر بأنها "أخطر إمرأة في أميركا".

For tweets opposing #Yemen war “his majesty’s” court sent my father Nabeel Rajab to prison.

Tomorrow “his majesty” decides whether my father can come back home or has to stay 5 more years in prison.

Unlock the chains and free my father. #freeNabeel #Bahrain

[Ebrahim Sharif @ebrahimsharif]

I was summoned today by Bahrain public prosecutor, accused of insulting head of state, on my tweet urging sudanese president to leave office.

Albasheer's fate is responsibilty of Sudanese, but we stand behind our brothers in Sudan for freedom and dignity.

@IJNet @ICFJ Sorry, I meant to tag @IFJGlobal rather than ICFJ in the last tweet

[Chan'ad Bahraini @chanadbh]

Why is @IJNet promoting an award from the head of a regime that has jailed journalists, shutdown critical newspapers and even made up blatant lies about @ICFJ ?

Young people have a large role to play in the push towards sustainable development. Have you reported on initiatives that promote youth engagement?

I apologize to my family and daughter for not being able to spend this happy day with them, but I have no choice.

My heart & spirit remain with you. The person who put me in prison has imprisoned himself in a palace of shame.

Pakistanis banned from entry into Bahrain. No new visas being issued. I just had to return from Saudi Causeway. Something to do with fraudulent activities at Pakistani Embassy in Bahrain @Xadeejournalist @ZarrarKhuhro @kursed @mosharrafzaidi
