تدين @ADHRB تصاعد الانتهاكات ضد شعائر #عاشوراء في #البحرين، حيث فرضت السلطات قيودًا غير مسبوقة على المجالس والمواكب والخطاب الديني، ومنعت خطباء ورواديد من المشاركة، وأزالت المظاهر العاشورائية، ولجأت إلى الاستدعاءات والاعتقالات واستخدام القوة ضد المعترضين.

Game of Drones: The flag on Beaufort, the truth at Rambam

Empires still plant flags on old stones to prove they are winning – but modern wars are decided by what is circling overhead, not what is fluttering from a wall.

عاجل #البحرين: مجموعة احكام تعسفية خليفية جديدة تصدر بحق عدد من المواطنين الشيعة

تم الحكم بالمؤبد على الأسيرة البحرانية بدور عبد الحميد علي المؤذن

تم اختطافها من منزلها في بلدة بني جمرة وقد تعرضت للتعذيب الجسدي والنفسي لإنتزاع اعترافات باطلة بالتواصل مع الحرس الثوري الايراني

Elizabeth, with all due respect, a number of journalists in this region knew about your story and didn't publish it. The Cradle sat on it for 2 months before publishing - WAITING for responses from your various "employers," none of whom bothered following up on your case - and from the Russian Embassy in Baghdad, which seemed to be unaware of your situation.

I'm so glad our sources were solid. Thank you for confirming that.

And no, we neither receive funds from the IRGC nor via cryptocurrency. We will, however, be happy to take donations from anyone and everyone (except Israelis), but unlike other publications, donors have zero ownership, and therefore cannot dictate what our journalists write about - which is why our reporting is both reliable and courageous. As an aside, we did not respond to your sister's letter for information, because 1) we don't reveal our excellent sources, and 2) because we do not interact with Israelis, per Lebanese law.

Be grateful we shone a light on your case and forced the Israeli prime minister to acknowledge your captivity.
